of England, AR
April 26, 2004 - April 25, 2025
Bailey Elaine Winkler, 20, of England, Arkansas was called home to her Heavenly Father on Friday, April 25, 2025.
A 2022 graduate of England High School, Bailey worked as a pharmacy technician with AR Care Pharmacy while taking online college courses. Her goal was to become a nurse practitioner.
Bailey's faith was the foundation of her life. Her personal relationship with Christ guided her actions and gave her strength, and she held that faith close throughout her journey.
To know Bailey was to experience joy. She was the purest kind of light - beautiful, loving, goofy, compassionate, loyal, and kind-hearted. She was known to break into song and dance at any moment, and her laugh was absolutely contagious.
She was a caretaker to her core and was always seeking ways to make others feel seen, heard, and loved.
To be loved by Bailey was to know a love that was genuine and unconditional.
She is survived by the love of her life, Joseph (Joey) Gomez, and their beloved son, Weston Gomez. Bailey centered her life around her little family and was excited about building a future with Joey.
Her most favorite times were spent surrounded by family and friends, especially when the gatherings included one of Joey's famous crawfish boils.
Bailey was a devoted daughter to Ross and Erin Winkler, and a cherished sister to her beloved brother Jett, and her sisters Rebecca Penney and Baxley Winkler, all of England, as well as her sister Ana Lopez Restrepo of Medellin, Antioquia, Colombia.
She shared a close bond with her grandparents, Dan and Susan Thomas of Cabot, AR, and Bob Winkler and the late Elizabeth Winkler of Jacksonville, AR - each of whom helped shape the incredible woman she became.
Bailey also built a chosen family full of deep lasting friendships. She leaves behind a sister in Stormy Furr, a brother in Jase Triplett, and a giant circle of bonus, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends with whom she made memories that will forever be treasured.
Bailey was the best mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, and friend.
She gave her whole heart to those she loved, and her presence made the world a better and brighter place.
Her legacy of love lives on through all who knew her - especially in her precious Weston.
She will forever be missed but never forgotten.
A celebration of Bailey's life will be held on Saturday May 3,2025 at 11:00 am at Landmark Baptist Church in England, AR
In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations for Weston's future be made to:

Continued prayers ❤️
Continued prayers ❤️
I can't begin to understand the pain you're feeling, but please know that I'm sending much love and prayers!!
Bailey lived across the street from my grandmother in England. We grew up together, running back and forth across the street, swimming in the pool, and of course going to sonic after. We also shared a birthday. I remember celebrating with her as a kid. When I look back at some of my core memories in my childhood, she will be in some of the best parts of them! Prayers for her family!
Our hearts and our prayers go out to you and your family.
May the peace of God , Which transcends all understanding , guard your hearts and minds during this season.

Erin,
Although I never met Bailey, I felt like I knew her through your posts. I knew that she was fiercely loved and that she fiercely loved her family. My continued thoughts & prayers for strength & peace are with all of you! Draw from God's strength & He will sustain you!
I worked with Bailey at England and Carlisle ARcare pharmacies. She was a very good tech and a very sweet person. She was always talking about Weston when she came back and was so happy she had taken off to be with him. She will be greatly missed.
I remember Bailey playing in the yard if the neighborhood kids .. her and all those boys .. lol. Checked her out in the grocery store a couple of weeks ago and although she looked tired her face lit up with the biggest smile when I asked her about Weston . Praying for each and every one of you who loved her so much . May you feel Gods presence and comfort in the days ahead .
My heart is shattered for the entire family! She was a bright sould full of life and love. She will forever be in our hearts. Thoughts and prayers for you all. Till we meet again Bailey.
I may not have known Bailey personally, but reading the story of her life well lived makes my heart fill with joy to know I was blessed to share an employer, ARcare, with such a remarkable person. She will forever be beautiful and blessed in the presence of our Lord and Savior. Heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends.
