of North Little Rock, AR
October 30, 1941 - January 15, 2026
Mary Evelyn Bailey entered her eternal rest on January 15, 2026, at the age of eighty four. She has gone home, not to an ending, but to the warm and holy embrace of her Savior; not to silence, but to the music of Heaven's everlasting peace.
Her heart was shaped by kindness, her spirit gentle enough to soften even the hardest day. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren with a devotion that asked for nothing and gave everything. Her love was steadfast, freely offered, and unconditionally shared with every soul blessed enough to know her.
Mary brought light into every room, comfort into every weary moment, and love into every heart that needed it. Though she has stepped beyond our sight, her presence lingers in our laughter, our memories, and in the love, she taught us to give without hesitation.
She will be forever missed, forever cherished, and forever loved.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Cecil and Ruth Lindsey; her brothers, Phillip Lindsey and Charles Lindsey; her sister, Georgia Stone; her husbands, Armie W. Hunt and Lloyd Bailey; and her daughter, Jamie Hunt.
She is survived by her sons, Robert Hunt (Lisa) and Randy Hunt; her grandsons, Justin Hunt (Brittney), River Hunt (Faith Wilemon), and Matthew Hunt (Nikki); her great-grandchildren, Ava Hunt, Arianna Hunt, Journey Young, and Brittin Boldin; her sisters, Irma Lindsey Shoffner and Lois Wallis; and her brothers, Steve Lindsey and Fred Lindsey.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, January 29, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., at Roller-Owens Funeral Home, 5509 John F. Kennedy Blvd., in North Little Rock. A graveside service will be on Friday, January 30, at 2:00 p.m., at Mt. Zion Cemetery in Newark, Arkansas.
