Bailey

Scott Aaron Bailey, 60, McCaskill, AR, passed away early Tuesday, February 18, 2025. Scott was born in Prescott November 24, 1964, to the late Bill and Joy (Phillips) Bailey. He married Tina (Yingst) Bailey October 26, 1985.

Scott enjoyed hunting and fishing, especially fishing with his best friend, Khole. He spent his summers gardening and was always going to check on people he cared about. He was a fantastic cook, and everyone loved his chicken and dumplings (in fact, there were many arguments about who got to take the leftovers home at every holiday get together!) He loved being "Gramps" and "Uncle Scottie" more than just about anything.

He is survived by his wife, Tina; daughters, Ashley (Brian) Bailey and Mel Bailey; granddaughter, Charlene Bailey-Pebley; his best friend, Khole Batz; sister, Sherry (Tim) Gregory; brother, Randy (Patricia) Bailey; mother-in-law, Pam Yingst; aunts and uncles, Victor (Barbara) Phillips, Jackie Phillips, Faye Cheek, Ray (Alta) Bailey, and Sybil Lewallen; brothers-in-law, Skip and Deven Yingst; sisters-in-law, Carrie and Tara Yingst; nieces and nephews, Amber (Kyle) Beebe (Kade and Kailyn), Jeremy Bailey (Kori and Koko), Josh (Tiffany) Bailey (Scarlett, Tori, Lizzie, and JR), Timothy Gregory, Jace Batz, Shauni Yingst (Layna, Clara, Tate, Jasper, Logan), Noah (Diana) Yingst (Hudson), Deven Yingst Jr., and Danielle Yingst.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his father-in-law George Yingst, and several aunts and uncles.
