Ms Mary was like a mother to me friend and confident always with a loving smile. You will be missed! Condolences from the Bennett family as well. Sending love and comfort to her entire family.
Miss Mary came into my life when I was just a baby. She always called herself my grandma and 21 years later she's still my grandma! The way she lights up Everytime she sees a familiar face and such a contagious smile! I love you grandma and I know it's not goodbye but see you later, watching over all of us.❤️
Miss Mary Was a very special kind of angel that was sent into my family's life when she was our neighbor at the apartment she loved us. I used to look forward to going to see her and she loved my kids. You won't find anybody better than Miss Mary and I'm glad she's up there with all my angels too R.I.H. I'm glad she's no longer suffering and I'm glad that I have another angel. That's looking down at me. Say hi to my mom and dad and all my angels for me This is not goodbye. This is see you later and I know you up there shouting with Jesus and God she will be missed fly high angels fly high.
My condolences to the family of mary Baylor,she was like family to my family you will be missed in havelock RIP everyone loved you but God loves you more I will make sure Junior is ok
Sending prayers and love,in your time of loss.
I met Mary when I worked as a maintenance man at the apartments where she lived. One day I was called there to fix her plumbing. After the repairs she offered me lunch. This was the first time I was introduced to chitlins. I did not want to hurt her feelings so I tried them. I must have made a funny face and she broken out laughing at me. She never fed me chitlins again but we became close friends. Mary was a truly beautiful person inside and out. I will miss her very much.
Ms Mary loved and was loved by many in her community. She opened her heart to my son and I when he lived nearby. She loved flowers, and I loved seeing her light up when I brought them. I'll Miss seeing her. Heaven is richer!
God bless your family in your time of sorrow!! Mrs Mary was such a blessing to all that she came across and forever will be in my heart and memories!!

Condolences to the family RIP
Words are too hard to Express My feelings 💔 Mrs.Mary was My Mom who always loved me and kept Me smiling and Now I'm crying 😢 Mama Mary will never begotten... Rest in Paradise and Watch Over Me! 😢
My condolences to the family of Mrs. Mary. She was such a beautiful and God fearing lady and she will be missed. May she rest peacefully in the Lord.
She was a beautiful soul that will definitely be missed. Her smile would light up a room and her slick comments and sassiness will forever be missed as well. I'm grateful for the time and love that we shared. Praying for the family. Love always, Kera
Mother as I would call her was not just because she was a Mother at WOGCC she was a mother outside as well. When I first met her she kissed my cheek and she didn't even know me she said I love you and she really didn't know me but it was from her heart, and I fell in love with her she was real and meant every word she spoke. We all have spent some days with her but for me it was days of pure love, laughter, and joy. Didn't ever want to see you go but I know you can't stay here forever. You will forever be missed and always loved. I can say I love you because you heard me say it before. May God comfort and bring peace to your children, grandchildren and your entire family.
My grandmother had a beautiful spirit and a deep love for the Lord, just as I do. I will dearly miss her radiant smile and the joy of her laughter.
Mother Baylor was the kind of mother you could not just walk by without embracing her. She always had a smile on her face that would light up a room. Every time she saw us she would ask, "Where is my kiss and my hug?" You dare not walk by her without acknowledging her. She would definitely let us know that we were out of order if we did. (lol) Her humbleness and gentle spirit will definitely be missed. Although she will be missed dearly, there is no way we would want her to stay here in pain. God knew that it was better to take her on than to suffer. He loved her just that much. Rest on mother. You left a hard task for us, because I don't know if I can keep Emerson aka Junior straight, but I'll try. (lol)
Ascend in power my beautiful Mother. The ancestors await your return. Energy never dies just transformed. Love ya <3
When I joined WOGCC, a beautiful smile captivated my heart and that smile belonged to Mother Baylor whom I affectionately called Mom....as I embraced her, she so tenderly and lovingly returned the embrace...our love language was impeccable...Mom, I will ALWAYS love you more than a pig loves slop....will always cherish those precious memories that we shared...and I've got your son, Emerson, whom I love dearly.
Ms, Mary was a Godsend to me when she first came to Havelock, she was my neighbor and we became good friends, she was always there when I needed to just talk, you will be truly be miss , but you are home now and at peace, but your spirit will live forever around us. Rest in Peace 🙏
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We will dearly miss "mama". Such a beautiful soul. You never knew a stranger and you "adopted" us as family from the first day. I will miss my hug that you insisted on no matter what. I knkw the Lord got one of the best when you left us to go home. We love you, mama.
