Anne Baker, 82, died  Monday, March 11, 2019. Born in Richmond, Indiana to Emmett J. and Roberta J. (Brooks) Wright. Graduated from Centerville, Indiana High School.

Arts and crafts were one of her hobbies and she made the family Christmas card for over 50 years. Hand-painted eggs on the lawn at Easter were the hit of the neighborhood. Travel was always a joy.  She has been in every state of the United States and in most of the Canadian provinces and territories.

Foreign visitors, including three exchange students, were always welcome in the home.

Anne was most comfortable in the kitchen; sharing her love and affection through innumerable meals with good food and good friends.  Working in food settings, including fifteen years running consessions for teachers, students and athletic events at Lincoln High, was always a joy. She was known for the variety of salads she served to teachers during lunchtime. She loved babies and young children – helping many get a warm and caring start in life. Exploring connections between people was important. She saw all of us as a part of a broader community.

Survived by Maurice, her husband of 61 years, son Kyle (Demarie) Baker, Monroe, Wisconsin; daughter Cora Lou Gupton (Scott), Commerce City, Colorado; daughter, R. Brooke Baker (Cal Zunt), Lakewood, Ohio; grandchildren, Shelby Gupton, Donovan Baker, Sullivan Baker; brother-in-law William Taylor, sisters-in-law Carolyn Wright and Ann Hart.

Preceded in death by parents, sister, Marcia Taylor and brother, Mark Wright; step-father, Robert Sheffer.

Cremation.  Celebration of Life 11:00 a.m. Saturday, March 30th at St Paul United Methodist Church, 1244 M Street. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the charity of your choice.
