1943-2026
We announce with shattered hearts that Allena Mae Bailey, 83, passed away on Friday, August 14, 2026, at UK-Good Samaritan Hospital in Lexington.
Born January 19, 1943, in Irvine, Kentucky, to the late Frank & Nola Covey Campbell, Allena owned B&M Commercial Cleaning. She enjoyed cleaning, as she also loved to cook and owned her own BBQ restaurant named Porky’s in Ohio. Allena really enjoyed Sunday dinners with her family. She loved lilies in her flower bed. She loved to see the butterflies and hummingbirds in her flower beds. She was an avid glass collector. She got a blast when she would outrun the cops with her drag cars as she would race the trains at different crossings. If you said auction or yard sale, she was ready to go. Allena loved Hallmark movies. She was a VIP member of Q.V.C. If you knew her, you would know her sweet tea was never too far away. She loved Elvis, and Dirty Dancing was one of her favorite movies.
