On March 19,1922, Andrew Jackson Bailey and Louise Powell Bailey start their family of nine children with a little girl, Ida Jeanette Bailey, later to be known as Jan Bailey Busbee. Jan departed this life on Sunday, February 2, 2020.

During Jan's life, she grew into a very independent and savvy businesswoman, helping the love of her life, W. Clyde Busbee start a family and side by side build a tremendous legacy in Real Estate and Specialty Produce and Tomato business. After her husband Clyde passed away, Jan continued that Entrepreneurial Spirit they built together and worked tirelessly to increase the business holdings.

Jan was active in her community. She was Past Worthy Matron of Florida Chapter 9 Order of Eastern Star, member of Shimron Temple, Daughters of the Nile, Past Lady of Hadji Shrine Temple, Real Estate Broker, member of the Pensacola Ski Club, Pensacola Garden Club, member of Mardi Gras Jesters and Past Queen of Saints and Sinners (Twice).

After slowing down, never retired and still very much active in all aspects of the partnership, she enjoyed having her sons and their families to her beach home on Villa Sabine Bay on Pensacola Beach for boating, swimming and cookouts. Mama Jan would sit for hours watching her great-grandchildren jump off her pier, climb back up and jump again. She said that was the reason she wanted to stay in her home.
