Mrs. Baker was active in Calvary Baptist Church for many years. She loved her Lord and treasured time spent at her church. She was a loving housewife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She taught her three children the way to Christ and it is sure they will meet their Mom and Dad in heaven. Her great joy in this life was cooking for family and friends and receiving them in her home.
