Concetta Bailey

Concetta " Connie" Bailey (nee DiGenova) age 90 of Hammonton, NJ passed away Wednesday July 30, 2025 at AtlantiCare Medical Center in Galloway, NJ. She was born in Phila. PA and resided in Hammonton all her life. She graduated from St. Joseph High School in 1952.

Connie was a proud union laborer who worked in the clothing factories of Hammonton following high school at St Joseph. Her story was recently featured in a history book about Hammonton. As clothing factories moved to other countries, she enjoyed working in the casinos of Atlantic City, and finally in NatWest bank in Hammonton, where she retired in 2000. She was a proud Italian and a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who always put everyone else's needs in front of hers. Her contagious laugh and welcoming arms will be sorely missed by many but we take comfort in knowing she is in a better place.

Connie is predeceased by her parents Salvatore and Adeline Porreca DiGenova.

She is survived by her loving husband Raymond Bailey, her son Thomas Bailey, MD and his wife Michelle, daughter Suzanne Wheatall and her husband Michael and her sister Mary Custodio. Connie will be sadly missed by her grandchildren Joshua Bailey (Sara), Iain Bailey (Corrie), Benjamin Wheatall, Aaron Wheatall and Elizabeth Wheatall (Joshua) along with Great Grandchildren, Ava, Finn, Maira, Alaina, Leeland, Atlas, Vincent, Giovanni, John and Molly.
