Edith F. (Bailey) Powers, 91, formerly of Depot Street, Andover, died peacefully Tuesday, February 28, 2023 at the Merrimack County Nursing Home in Boscawen.

She was born in Marblehead, Massachusetts on October 25, 1931, the daughter of James S. and Esther S. (Clark) Bailey. After attending Lab Technician School in Boston, she moved to New London, where she worked as a Lab Tech at the old New London Hospital. She was a Homemaker, a Baker at Cricenti’s Market in New London, and a Rural Contract Mail Carrier. She was a devoted wife, and mother, a true Celtics and Red Sox fan, an avid reader, loved anything to do with cardinals and was always ready to sit down to a good puzzle. She was particularly proud of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and wouldn’t hesitate to let everyone know of all their accomplishments.

She is predeceased by her Husband of 66 years, Henry (Skip) Powers in March of 2022 and a brother James. She is survived by three children, James (Regina) Powers of Huntsville, Alabama, David (Laura) Powers of Andover, and Christine (Bruce) Homa of Tampa, Florida; six grandchildren, Jeffery, Matt, Brian, Madison, Bailey and Myles; three step grandchildren, Deanne, Tiffany and Kimberly; two great grandchildren, Wilkes and Jude; three step great grandchildren, Etta May, Daniel and Alice; a sister, Martha Woodfin of Marblehead, Massachusetts, and numerous nieces and nephews.

There will be no services. Arrangements are being handled by Chadwick Funeral Services in New London.
