Heather L. Bayless

Heather Lynne Bayless, Findlay, passed away peacefully at the age of 54 on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at Bridge Hospice Care Center.

She was born on November 29, 1971, in Findlay, to Bob Bayless and Gara (Lepper) Sadler.

Heather was a gentle, sweet soul with a warrior’s heart. She was strong, brave, and fought with courage until the very end.

Music was her refuge; it soothed her soul and brought her peace. Heather had a natural way of making her family laugh, even in hard moments. Above all, she loved and adored her only son, who meant everything to her.

Heather loved to travel and experience life beyond the familiar. She often reminded those around her, “This too shall pass,” words that reflected her strength, hope, and enduring spirit.

Heather will be deeply missed by her son, her mother, and her family. She was a beautiful soul whose love and presence will never be forgotten.

Left behind to cherish Heather’s memories are her mother, Gara; her son she adored, Kip Wright; and sister, Tracy Fox. Her aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews also survive.

She was preceded in death by her father, Bob; niece, Tiffany L. Fox; and her ex-husband, Darrin Wright.

There will be no funeral service for Heather. HUFFORD FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 1500 Manor Hill Rd., Findlay, (419-422-1500) is honored to serve Heather’s family.
