Obituary For Bailey Layne McGlothlin

Bailey Layne McGlothlin, 15 of Bowie, TX, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, May 31st, 2024.

Dear Bailey,

It is with heavy hearts that we write this letter to you, our beloved daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin, girlfriend and friend. Your bright smile, infectious laughter, and kind heart touched the lives of everyone you met.

On September 12, 2008, you came into this world and brought so much joy and love into our lives. Your unwavering faith in God was truly remarkable. We watched you grow into a beautiful young lady, full of hopes, dreams and passion for life. Your dedication to sports was inspiring to all. Excelling in basketball, softball, volleyball & track all while prevailing in academics.

There is no doubt your future was bright but now you will shine the brightest of them all. In any group or situation you uniquely saw the good in every single person. You never spoke ill of others and had a deep love for all living creatures.

We are grateful you found love and a special bond with Bradly.

Your kind and compassionate nature was the light of many people’s lives and will be missed by all. For Debbie, Jimmy, James and Kesha you were the most beautiful daughter God could have created and always will be.

Sadly, your life was tragically taken from us at the tender age of 15. Our hearts ache with the pain of losing you, but we find solace in knowing that you are now at peace. We will forever cherish the memories we shared with you – the family gatherings , the late-night talks, the inside jokes, and the quiet moments of love and connection.

You will always hold a special place in our hearts, and your memory will live on in the stories we share and the love we continue to feel for you. Rest in peace, dear Bailey. May your spirit soar free and may you find eternal happiness in the arms of angels.

With all our love,
Your family and friends

Bailey was survived by her Dad and Mom, James McGlothlin and Kesha Axtell; Grandma and Grandpa Jimmy and Debbie Hill; Nonna, Beverly Axtell; Great-Grandpa, Charles Roth; and lots of aunts, uncles and cousins.

Ms. Bailey - such a beautiful young soul gone before she even had a chance to live. The little time that we had her, will forever be cherished. May she sleep peacefully - Acts 24:15, Isaiah 26:19

Bailey McGlothlin, you taught me so much. You were one of my biggest supporters. Your passion for God was contagious, and you always strived for more. Your life exemplified the qualities of a true Christian, and your smile and presence lit up the room. Thank you for meaningful conversations, front-row worship at camp, allowing me to pray for you and for trusting me to help you grow your faith. I'll never forget the many memories made and the impact you have made on my life. I'll live as you did until we worship again in heaven. Levi Davis

James and family -I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for comfort and strength to help you get through this time. I remember several years ago when James was building a barn wood wall in my kitchen and Bailey came with you to work one morning. She was a sweet little girl and your love for one another surrounded you both. S Schindler

Bailey is the sweetest, kindest, most loving soul I have ever met. I am so grateful I was able to get to know her and her amazing beautiful personality. Bailey always knew how to brighten someone's day. Bailey was always there for me whenever I needed her. I am so grateful to have met Bailey and to have gotten to know her. We will forever miss you and honor you sweet angel. -Gentry Gray 💕

Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, you are the sweetest most loving person anyone could ever have known. My fondest memory I have of me and bailey... well there is quite a few but there's on in particular that always and will forever cross my mind when I think of you. Every mini practice before our home softball games we would go to sonic and sit in the stalls and talk. Bailey always got a medium cheese stick and a " big red" add vanilla, and when I tell you this drink was so gross... it was gross. She loved it though and I would always say " this is gross get something else" but she always told me it gave her energy so I didn't say anything. After we got back and started to get ready for our softball game Daniel's would always tell us to be in the stands at a certain time, right? Right. Though because Bailey had to get all cute just in case she saw Bradly before or after her game we were over 7 minutes late. She had to put an 25,000 layers cause " she's always cold." Always had to straighten her side pieces because of how humid it was outside they would curl outwards, but the one thing she did EVERY SINGLE TIME... and quite literally every single time was curl her eyelashes. She always had to have her eyelashes curled. I will always believe the term " look good, feel good, do good" because of Bailey she always looked good even though we really never won our games that didn't matter cause we always had fun and she looked good. I will always and forever love you Bailey Layne you are the sun, moon, and stars that will forever light up my eyes when I look into the sunrise and sunset and think of you! I love you girl. ❤️ -Dallie M

Bailey is the sweetest most genuine souls ever. She always knew what to say and when to say it and how to make you smile on your worst days. To Bailey, I will love you forever. This year has been the hardest year of my life and you were one of the few people who were ALWAYS there for me. You are so beautiful, may your souls rest in peace knowing we will continue to live and honor you forever and ever sweet angel. Thank you for teaching me so much at such a young age, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I love you.-Emma Read❤️

So sorry to see this James. My prayers and love goes out to you and your family. Your old teacher, Steve Rorabaw

She was an amazing person and she would light up a room and make everyone smile and feel better she was always there for you if you needed someone and she would just sit and talk with you I remember at camp, Bailey and I just sat and talked and prayed and all the girls gathered together and sang Taylor swift it was so much fun I just want her to know how much I love her and miss her❤️❤️❤️ Love,Abby

Bailey was the sweetest and kindest person I will ever meet. On our last tgif game a few of us were waiting in the locker room and I was on the outside of it charging my phone and she looked out the doorway and saw my twisted snake gummies and the way her face lit up just made me so happy and I gave her and the rest of the people in there some. That is one of my core memories of her. She just had this happy sense around her and she could just light up a room without even trying. I just want her to know how much I love her and miss her. -Peyton 💕

I will always miss your happy birthday text messages you never failed on missing a birthday text for anyone. You always made sure I was okay. You were the sweetest person anyone could have ever met you never talked bad about anyone. You had the kindest soul. Everywhere I saw you, you always had that bright smile of yours and never missed a hug or a "hii Angela!" Im forever going to miss having you around -Angela

bailey was the literal light of my life. texting me all the time to check up on me no matter what. i will forever miss hearing her say i love you and listening to her and lily talk. bailey was too good for this world and she was taken too soon. i will forever honor and miss you until i can see you again bailey layne. i love you so much 🩷

Carli💌

I am forever gonna miss your everyday "i love you" texts. you are the most caring person and your love of God was so inspiring. going and sitting at sonic will never be the same. i miss you sm already. -chloe 💗

I am so grateful I got to spend as much time as I did with Bailey. One of my favorite memories with her was when we would sit and talk for hours. Bailey was the type of person who was very understanding, no matter what. I will forever cherish those talks with her.

i am so so beyond grateful that I got to have a friendship/ bond with Bailey. She was without a doubt the sweetest person you would have ever met she was always there with a smile when you needed it most. Also being an athlete with her day after day she never gave up no matter how tired she was or how hard the drill was she never gave up on it and always wanted to get better. My favorite memory with Bailey was going to Wichita and eating down the rolls basket after basket. Then roaming around the stores trying on different things. -Rhyan Carle ❣️

i will miss your sweet hugs everytime you saw me when i would attend an event. i miss your sweet smile and sweet laugh bailey layne, i love you.

payzlie

I will never forget the night before me coming to bowie, the way we would text each other planning to give each other the biggest hugs or every night we would spend playing any horror Roblox game on ft.

jaedyn

i am so thankful to have got to experience so many amazing memories with your beautiful soul. playing pickleball every night, celebrating galentines, sliding down hills in trash bags, random decatur runs that most of the time resulted in us eating half the menu somewhere, running down the isles of walmart, and watching you fall in love with my best friend bradly.

I FaceTimed Bailey out of nowhere and her face had the biggest smile on it when she answered. She was so excited to talk to me. She would always remind me how much she loved me.

carli💌

i will never forget going to pick you up and having bradly in the back seat waiting for you to hop in. i always teased him with your singing because we all knew it was the one thing that got on his nerves. i always made sure to blast taylor swift so i could watch you sing the lyrics to him, and laugh at the sight of him being annoyed but so in love with you. i love you bailey layne.

Me, Bailey, Kaylie, and Serenity went trashing bagging. Bailey was so excited to slide down wet hills with trash bags and soap on lol. Bailey had a great time and it's one of my many favorite memories.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
