MAGNOLIA - Evelyn Bayliss Pierotti passed away peacefully in her sleep, Monday, May 4, 2020 at Kent General Hospital.
Evelyn was born Jan. 6, 1925 in Melrose, Mass. to the late Chester E. Bayliss, Sr. and Evelyn Summers Bayliss.
She was a registered nurse for 60 years retiring in 2005. She compassionately cared for patients and their families as a private duty nurse. Evelyn was a foster mother, caregiver, and a family counselor. She was a board member of her local Investment Club. She attended Calvary Church, where she was involved in the Women's Fellowship. Evelyn enjoyed gardening, cooking, walking, bicycling, traveling, reading, writing, music, playing the piano, and visits to Rehoboth Beach.
She gave much to her family and friends. Those who sought her counsel were rewarded by her calm gentle spirit, intelligence, insightfulness, objectivity and love of the Lord.
Evelyn's family and friends will carry her love in their hearts forever.
