Delores Baillie
1929-2022
Delores Catherine (Hendsbee) Baillie, of Egypt Road, or
better known as “Del”, “Nanny Baillie”, and
“Nanny Darlin”. Delores “Nanny Baillie”,
age 93, passed away December 27th, 2022 at the Aberdeen Hospital. Born
in New Glasgow on November 28th, 1929, she was a daughter of the late
Clara (Martell) and Aulden Hendsbee. Besides her parents, she was
predeceased by her husband, Robert; daughter, Betsy; sister, Edie; and
brothers, Aulden and Shelly.
Delores spent many years working for both
Woolworth’s and Sears. She was an avid gardener, enjoyed
baking, cooking, bird watching, and rarely turned down a game of
cards. At noon, you could find her having lunch with her family; you
never knew what was on the menu or who would be dropping by but it was
always delicious and everyone was welcome.
Delores loved watching things grow, her plants, her
aquariums, but most especially her family. She loved her
family more than anything and was so proud of each and every one of
them. Delores is survived by her children: Eva (Dave) Simpson, Kathy
Baillie, Rupert Baillie, and son-in-law, Robert Taylor. Delores shared
a special bond with her sisters who were her best
friends, Elsie Hughes, Betty Fraser, and Joan Jordan. She is
also survived by grandchildren, Bobbi-Jo (Jason) Mahar, Julie Taylor,
Jenny Taylor, Jason Taylor, Jamie (Sherri) Taylor, Tracy (Scott)
Lennon, Kelly (Fraser) Griffon, Betsy Mackenzie, Louie MacKenzie, Pele
(Justin) Gallant and Shawn (Jana) Hessian; great grandchildren,
Deanna, Blake, Jeffrey, Jamie, Thomas, Carter, Baillie, Kori, Daniel,
James, Payton, Zachary, Myla, Levi; great-great grandchildren, Keigan,
Kaiden, Gabriel, and Oliver.
Delores had an open door and an open heart, lucky were those
who had the chance to be loved by her. Her love for her family will
live on in those she leaves behind.
A special and sincere Thank You to Dr. Park and the 4th floor
nursing staff for the care she received.
