THOMAS "TOM" BAILEY Obituary

Thomas "Tom" Bailey, age 63, of Bethel Park, passed away on Thursday, March 6, 2025. He lived a life full of family, friends, adventures, and sweet treats!

Being the youngest of eight siblings wasn't easy, but it created fond memories that Tom enjoyed sharing. In college, he worked hard on and off the track and made lifelong friends along the way (yes, he still would get together with his college buddies to go to Pitt football games and their children's weddings.)

Tom humbly started his career at Brentwood Bank shoveling snow on a cold January day and recently celebrated his 40th anniversary at the bank as CEO (a position he held for 24 years). He enjoyed being a community banker - he loved what he did and was proud to serve his community and fellow bankers. He met so many truly amazing people along the way.

Tom was a kind and caring man who valued hard work and instilled a strong work ethic in his kids. He valued his faith, and the time he got to spend daily in prayer with his wife, Lill.

Tom's greatest joy though was spending time with his family. He took such good care of his family and loved creating new memories. Whether it was kayaking in Glacier Bay with his son, Thomas, seeing Polar Bears and Northern Lights with his daughter, Mary Jo, or his National Park Adventures with his wife, Lill, he was excited to go on a grand adventure with them. He was blessed to have so many memories with them!

Tom celebrated life to the fullest and never missed an opportunity to enjoy a Bethel Bakery Paczki, a Page's Dairy Mart Artic swirl, or Lill's cherry squares. Say a prayer for him and enjoy a delicious goodie to honor his life!

Tom was the son of the late Dr. William R. Bailey, Jr. and Dr. Mary Lynch Bailey and brother to the late Margaret (Richard) Herrle. In addition to his wife, Lill, daughter, Mary Jo and son, Thomas, Tom is survived by his brothers, Bill (Barbara) and Jim and his sisters, Mary, Patricia (Mike) Ward, Kathleen (Kevin) Varley, and Eleanor.

SLATER FUNERAL HOME, INC., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227 on Sunday, March 9, 2025, from 1-8 p.m. Funeral prayer on Monday morning at 9:00.
