Warren Frederick lovingly known as “BeatleBailey or Papa” Bailey, 88, of Eufaula, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on February 18, 2026.
Born July 22, 1937, in Bellingham, Washington, to Lee Orville and Nina Francis (Evans) Bailey, Warren graduated from Bellingham High School and proudly served as a Private First Class in the United States Army during the Korean War.
He worked more than 30 years at the Port of Bellingham, retiring as Manager of the Deep Water Shipping Terminal. After retirement, he worked for the County of Coalgate and volunteered for over 10 years with the Atoka/Coal County Food Storehouse.
Warren married Myrna Teresa Bornstein on September 10, 1994. They shared 31 wonderful years together. He was a member of the Lions Club for more than 30 years and was of the Christian faith.
Warren enjoyed gardening, fishing, hunting, trains, golf, tractors, rock collecting, and watching airplanes drift across the sky. He loved old Western movies, Ice Road Truckers, good coffee, Bailey’s, and ice cream. He loved traveling—especially to the Pacific Northwest— and spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
More than anything, Warren loved his family. His steady presence, warm heart, and faithful spirit will live on in all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his loving wife, Myrna Teresa Bailey of the home in Eufaula, Oklahoma; his children: Debra Ann Jannett-Bailey of Vällingby, Sweden; Gary Bailey of Issaquah, Washington; and Lisa Bernhardt of Blaine, Washington; and his grandchildren: Amanda Bernhardt, Ashley Bernhardt, and Marcus Bailey.

He is further survived by his brother, Bruce (Chris) Bailey; dear cousin and friend, Dave (Netta) Bailey; the mother of his children, Harriet Gustafson; Helen Squire; along with numerous nieces, nephews, great-grandchildren, and dearly loved friends.
Warren was preceded in death by his parents, Lee Orville and Nina Francis (Evans) Bailey; his brothers, Gary Bailey and Darryl Bailey; and his step-son-in-law, Darrin Begley.
