It is with heavy hearts but peace in our souls that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Carla May Dilworth Bayley. After a courageous and sacred battle with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), she left this earth at 7:05 AM on April 7, 2025, at the age of 73. She was surrounded in her final days by her loving and eternal companion, John Lester Bayley, and her six children: Brandon Bayley, Paula Skalka, Steven Bayley, Bonnie Vassilaros, Lisa Buchanan, and Brian Bayley.
Carla was the fifth child born to Don and Mary Dilworth, and was preceded by her biological siblings Don-Evan, Ina, Ferrel, and Eileen. When Carla was three years old her parents welcomed 4 young Indian boys from the Flathead tribe in Montana into their home where she embraced them as brothers. They are Eugene, Doug, Dennis, and Terry Felsman, each of whom she loved dearly.
Carla lived a life of unyielding faith, devotion, and selfless service. She was a beacon of love and support to all who knew her. Her strength, kindness, and unwavering testimony of Jesus Christ will be remembered by all whose lives she touched.
Funeral arrangements are being handled by Relyea Funeral Home, and we invite friends and family to gather to celebrate Carla's life at the LDS Chapel, located at 1985 North Black Cat Road, Meridian, Idaho, 83646, on April 21, 2025. The service details are as follows:
Closed casket viewing: 10:00 AM to 10:50 AM
Funeral service: 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM
We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support we have received from so many. Carla's legacy of faith and service lives on in each of us, and we find comfort knowing she is now reunited with loved ones on the other side of the veil. We hold on to the promises of Jesus Christ and the hope of an eternal reunion.
We love you, Mom. Until we meet again.
