About Enid

Enid Marie Bayman, 80, of Akeley, MN died Thursday, March 21, 2024 at her home in Akeley, MN.

Enid was born July 6, 1943, in Park Rapids, MN, the daughter of Emil and Mary (Syverson) Benson. She attended Akeley Public School and graduated in 1961. She then moved to Minneapolis and worked at the Federal Reserve Bank for 2 ½ years. She married Jerome Bayman on March 14, 1964 and they celebrated 56 years of marriage. This union brought two children, Steve and Brenda. After getting married she went to work at the First National Bank of Walker for 33 years until retiring in 2001.

She was a member of the First Lutheran Church in Akeley. Her hobbies included puzzles, gardening, growing beautiful flowers, her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She loved playing cards and board games, but her favorite was playing croquet.

She will be remembered for her competitive game and for pulverizing her opponents. She and Jerome enjoyed going to the Casino, and they never missed any of their grandkids' events. She enjoyed the ride along for grouse hunting, and even went bear baiting with her son, but only once!!

She took endless photos, and loved being the hostess for family events. We will all miss her delicious lasagna! She and Jerome were way more than just grandparents. Their love of family was everything to them. You knew they’d be there to support their grandchildren in every aspect.
