have a ton to offer and leave people smiling. So wouldn’t it seem natural

games and other events, Bailey is always on her list of people loin
“Every time I come to College Station, she’s usually thefirsipei.
son I rush to see, her and my cousin,” Bacon said. “I try to
there in time for lunch so we can talk.”
Bailey said Bacon is one of about a dozen former studentstliaifi
considers to be part of her family, although she loves each and even
student she has worked with and knows where just about eveiyone
of them is right now. In any given week, she corresponds by e-n
with more than 3(H) former students around the world.
In 1999, Bailey, who was always there for students in theirti
need, received countless calls and prayers from them when they
heard the news that her husband, Keith, had died.
“When ( Keith) died they came from all over,” Bailey said. "1
they came not so much to take care of me, although they made off®
to do most anything, but they came because they wanted to be sum]
was alright.”
However, even during this traumatic time in her life, she said,the
motherly instinct inside of her took over when she saw that somesiti
dents who had never been inside a funeral home before werenervois
“I realized some of (the students) were uncomfortable and I did
my best to make them comfortable,” she said. “But they were the
make sure I was alright. Those kinds of things you never forget.”
In 1992. Bailey received the Association of Former Studenis'
Faculty Distinguished Achievement Award for Staff Administration.
Each year the Association gives away two of these awards
the University. The award is considered one of the highest honors a
faculty or staff member can receive at A&M.
That same year, Bailey was named as a Fish Campnamesak
another honor because it is chosen based on nominations
students.
“I was so surprised (when they told me) that I screamed and I'm
not a screamer” Bailey said. “It was fun to be caught up in the
enthusiasm of the students and the spirit, it was an amazing event
Before coming to A&M, Bailey worked as a model in NewYod
owned various companies, including a distribution company that»
ered 19 states, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas, worked for an oil(iel
service and was a hotel and restaurant operator in New Orleans.
But in the early 1980s, the oil industry collapsed and Bailey's
husband Keith was diagnosed with throat cancer. In 1983,heha(l
surgery and she sold all of her interests in New Orleans and head
ed for the family farm near College Station. In 1985, she began
working in the MSC.
Jim Reynolds, director of the Memorial Student Center, said
Bailey has been an incredibly vital part of the MSC.
“Students don't leave their personal lives at the door of the MSC
and need time, attention and assistance,” Reynolds said. "Jane has
been the one who has really stepped forward and taken on that role
Reynolds said Bailey has also become a great friend during
their time together.
Bailey said she has enjoyed her time with A&M and the MSCal
couldn’t think of a single favorite memory in her 18-year careerte
“1 have so many memories there is no way to enumerate them,
she said. “They are all related to students and working with studefi
it’s been a joy in my life,” she said.
She said she hopes to be remembered as someone whotrulyd
about the students she worked with when she decides to retire.
“I would hope that someone would remember me as s
took their job seriously, someone who really cared about r
really enjoyed their company,” she said. “That’s all I could hope for,’
