Wentress Mashilyn Noland

Wentress Mashilyn Noland lived a life defined by love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to her family. Her greatest accomplishment—and the role she cherished most—was being a devoted wife and an extraordinary mother.

She was a lover, a caregiver, and a nurturer in every sense of the word. Wentress loved unconditionally, with a heart that knew no limits. She was the right amount of stern when she needed to be, yet she carried one of the biggest hearts imaginable—full of compassion, patience, and grace.

Wentress had a joyful spirit and a contagious laugh. She loved laughing and joking, bringing light into every room she entered. Some of her happiest moments were spent vacationing in Tennessee, staying in a cozy cabin, and visiting Dollywood, where she created unforgettable memories with her family. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures—scratching lottery tickets, thrift shopping, and her newfound love of raising chickens.

Music was another source of joy for her. She enjoyed a wide range of sounds and artists—from R. Kelly and Cardi B to Dolly Parton—music that reflected her soulful, bold, and loving personality.

She leaves behind her devoted husband, Adrian Bailey Sr., with whom she shared 29 years of marriage.

She was the cherished daughter of Carolyn Noland and Howard Noland Sr., and a loving sister to Howard Noland Jr.

She was a proud and dedicated mother to her daughters Quinetta Allen, Adrianna Bailey, Aaliyah Bailey, and Angel Bailey, and her sons Adrian Bailey Jr., Aquarius Bailey, and Adarius Bailey.

She was also a deeply loved grandmother to seven granddaughters and two grandsons.

Though our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing that Wentress Mashilyn Noland lived a life full of meaning, laughter, and love. Her legacy will forever live on.
