Terry L. Bailey, 39, of Lower Millers Eddy Road, Parker, Perry Township, Armstrong County, passed away at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at his home following a 21-month battle with melanoma. Terry's family and friends were by his side when he drifted off to be with the Lord.

Terry was born on Oct. 30, 1974, in Butler. He was the son of Earl and Pamela Double Bailey of Karns City.
