She currently was a Junior at Watertown High School. Bailey loved hanging out with friends, listening to music, being a movie buff and spending time on the computer and on her phone - texting. She will be remembered for being an extreme animal lover, helping any wild or tame animal she came into contact with, trying to save them all. Photography was a special hobby of hers; spending hours trying to capture the moment. When she was younger she loved playing school with her brother, Joshua.
