Leah Rae Bailey

Leah Rae Bailey, age 60, of Plymouth, passed away unexpectedly with her husband by her side on December 9th, 2021.

Preceded in death by her parents Rollie Holstein and Connie Raske; and in-laws Charles and Ann Bailey.

Survived by husband, Peter; son Charlie, and daughter Elise; brothers, Steven (Liz) Holstein, Brian Holstein, Jeff (Tasha) Holstein, Brian (Nancy) Bushee, and Eric Bushee; step-mother, Diane Holstein; sisters-in-law, Mary Ellen (Tom) Benninger, Kathy (John) Roberts, and Carolyn Bailey; also many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and wonderful friends whom she loved dearly.

Leah was born in Tracy, Minnesota, grew up in New Ulm, and went on to graduate from the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management. While at the U of M, she met Peter Bailey, and the two were married on November 25th, 1989. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, caring sister, and incredible friend. Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her family at the cabin. An avid reader, she could be found snuggled up in her favorite chair, with a good book, a crackling fire, and the sound of soft piano filling the room. Leah left us far too soon and will be greatly missed by all those who were fortunate enough to be a part of her life. We will love her forever.
