Lindola Baity

Lindola Pruitt Baity or Nannie as she was affectionately known to so many, 84, went home to be with the Lord on June 12, 2025.

A native of Person County she was one of thirteen children. Tending a family farm together taught Lindola the importance of being both hardworking and caring. These principles would define her throughout her entire life. Although even while working in the tobacco fields she still found time for a little mischief, such as, when she got into her father’s snuff. A mistake she swore she would never do again. She would continue working hard raising three boys and working as a seamstress. Her desire to care for others would ultimately lead her to find her passion as a nurse. A job she would do faithfully until her retirement. Another large part of Lindola’s life was her love for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was a faithful member of the McLeansville Baptist Church and it was her hearts desire that all, but especially her family and friends, come to the saving knowledge of Jesus and his free gift of salvation. Some of her other hobbies include sewing/crafting, puzzles, and reading.
