Along with a host of other relatives, friends, and loved ones.

Mrs. Baker enjoyed working in the yard, mowing, and keeping flowers. She loved red roses. She always cooked big meals around holidays, and never asked for any help doing it. She loved country music, especially her favorites George Jones, and Marty Stuart. Just a few days ago she watched the Marty Stuart Show on RFD-tv. She was a faithful listener of the Grinders Switch Ensemble every Saturday Morning. She would get mad if she got a phone call during that time because it interrupted her listening.

She was not afraid to tell you that she was the boss. Marilynn was her mean one, Dianne was her valedictorian, David was one she had to keep a tight rein on, and Melisa was her baby. Mr. Raymond was simply her best friend.
