It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we share the tragic passing of Bailey JoAnn Mathis, age 28, of Omaha, Nebraska, who was identified as the victim in a fatal accident on September 17, 2025. Her sudden and heartbreaking loss has sent waves of grief through her family, friends, and the broader Omaha community.
Bailey was a vibrant, compassionate, and joyful young woman who brought light and warmth into every space she entered. As a Certified Nursing Assistant, Bailey found her true calling in caring for children, offering comfort, kindness, and hope to young patients and their families. Her natural ability to connect with others and her gentle, nurturing spirit made her not only a caregiver but also a trusted friend and confidant to many.
Known for her radiant smile, boundless energy, and passion for life, Bailey’s presence was nothing short of uplifting. Outside of her professional work, she embraced every moment—whether dancing to her favorite music, exploring nature with friends, or simply making people laugh with her infectious sense of humor. Her love for music, dance, and adventure reflected the way she lived: fully, boldly, and beautifully.
Bailey’s legacy is one of love, kindness, and generosity. She was a beloved daughter, sister, and friend whose unconditional support and compassion touched the lives of all who knew her. Her memory will live on not only in the hearts of her family, but also in the countless individuals she inspired through her selfless actions and joyful spirit.
Funeral services will be held in Blair, Nebraska, with details to be shared by the family in the coming days. As her loved ones prepare to celebrate her life, the community is invited to honor Bailey’s legacy and support the family during this deeply difficult time. Contributions are being accepted to help alleviate the financial burdens associated with this sudden loss.
Though Bailey’s time on earth was far too short, her impact will never be forgotten. May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may her memory be a lasting light to all who knew and loved her.
