Raymond Leroy Baylor of King William County, Virginia entered eternal rest on May 28, 2021 at his home surrounded by his loving family.  Raymond was born on July 14, 1941, and was the son of the late Deacon Lou Melvin and Deaconess Edith T. Baylor.  Raymond became a member of the Oxford Mount Zion Baptist Church at an early age, but like some, strayed, only to return and rededicate his life to Christ and remained a faithful member until his health began to fail.

Raymond received his formal education in the Caroline County Public School System and graduated in 1961 from Union High School which is now the Caroline Community Center.  Upon graduating, Raymond was employed at Sutton and Clark Service and Supply company in Richmond and worked for this company for 50+ years before retiring.  After his retirement from Sutton and Clarke he worked part-time for the Hanover County Public School System with the janitorial staff.

Raymond was preceded in death by his three brothers, Jerome, Lou Melvin, Jr., and Ceasar McKinley Baylor; two sisters, Cecilia Messiah and Loretta Roane.  He leave to cherish loving memories a beautiful wife of more than fifty years, Mrs. Bessie Wills Baylor; one daughter, Kathy B. Lacy (Roger); one grandson, Stephon Lacy; three sisters, Lillian Thornton (Wesley), Julia B. Jones (Robert) and Teresa LaVerne Vaughn; five sisters-in-law, Geraldine and Clementine Wills, Jean Wright, Gloria Holmes, and Marion Baylor; one loving and devoted aunt, Mrs. Addie S. Terrell, and a host of nieces, one devoted, Vanessa Wills (Nessa Boo), nephews, cousins, and friends.

AT REST

Do not cry for me, I stood the test.

I am at home, and I am at rest.

Me and my Savior it was meant to be.

Be happy for me I am free.
