Obituary for Genni Bailey
Bailey, Genni (Genevieve)
Christine (nee Bernacki)
Genni passed away peacefully at Stedman Community Hospice at 64 years of age on Sunday, February 12, 2017, after a 10 month battle with pancreatic cancer. Devoted and loving wife and best friend of David Bailey for 42 years, cherished mother of Erica Jackson (Rob) Woodstock, and Mark Bailey (Val) Ottawa, and much loved “Nana” of Austin and Jordyn Jackson, and Violet and Landon Bailey. Beloved daughter of Irene Bernacki and the late Walter Bernacki, step-daughter of Paul Reeve-Newson, and loving sister of Ed Bernacki of Brantford. She will be greatly missed by Linda and Bernie Klein, Don and Elaine Bailey, nieces, nephews, cousins, Texas friends, Smokey Hollow friends, some former students and other friends. Genni was born and raised in Brantford. She graduated from BCI where she received: the Headmaster’s Trophy, the Award of Merit, and the Best Senior Girl Athlete Award. She was an Ontario Scholar. She graduated from Lakehead University in 1975 with a B.Sc. (Chemistry) and played one year of Varsity Volleyball there. She received a B.Ed. in 1977 and taught for 27 years in grades 6-8 in Brant County schools. In 1996 Genni received the Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence in Science, Technology & Mathematics. Only 78 awards were given out across Canada. She coached various sports in elementary schools. From 2001-2005 she coached high school Badminton teams at PJC. Genni especially enjoyed the last 9 years of her career while teaching grade 8 students at Woodman School. She often watched former students participate in various sports/music/drama activities at PJC. She enjoyed watching football at PJC and Brantford Bisons football. Genni was very proud of her children, Erica and Mark and all their accomplishments. She really enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren. Genni and Dave enjoyed traveling to other countries many times. They spent many winters in Harlingen, Texas.
