Baylee Pierce


(From Hedge-Lewis-Goodwin Funeral Home)

Baylee Jane Pierce, of Neck City, Missouri, a cherished mother, daughter, and friend, passed away on Sunday morning, December 10, 2023, at the age of 31, after months of failing health. She departed this world in the comfort of her mother's home in Joplin, Missouri, surrounded by the love of her family. 

Born on August 10, 1992, in Joplin, Baylee's vibrant spirit and kind heart touched many throughout her life.







Raised in Webb City, Missouri, Baylee was a proud 2011 graduate of Webb City High School. Her passion for the outdoors was evident to all who knew her. An avid outdoorswoman, Baylee found joy in hunting and fishing, embracing the beauty of nature. She also shone on the softball field, where her competitive spirit and teamwork were always on display. Above all, Baylee's love for her two children, Sadie Jane and Holden Edward House, was the cornerstone of her life. She was a devoted mother, and her strength and kindness were the foundation of their home.

Baylee's legacy is carried on by her loving family. She is survived by her children, Sadie and Holden; her parents, Eddy Pierce of Neck City, Missouri, and Elizabeth Myers and her companion, Jon Ingham, of Joplin, Missouri; and her maternal grandmother, Zelma Jane Myers of Oronogo, Missouri. Her life was also enriched by a host of other relatives and friends who will miss her dearly. Baylee was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Robert Myers, and her paternal grandparents, William J. Pierce, Sr. and Jean Pierce.

Those who knew Baylee will remember her as a loving and kind soul, always ready to lend a helping hand. Her strong-willed nature was balanced by a generous spirit, and she was often found giving her time and resources to others in need. Baylee will be deeply missed, but her spirit will remain with us always.
