Betty Baker

Betty Jarene Baker

9/22/27 – 11/14/15

Our sweet wife, mother, grandmother and great grand-mother quietly passed away Saturday, November 14, 2015.  Betty was born in Kirksville, Missouri – the daughter of Arthur Roy and Gladys Adeline Hutchins.

Betty married her lifetime sweetheart, Jack on February 27, 1946.  Jack served in the Navy during WWII and Korea and then had a career in Aerospace.  His service and career took them on a lifelong adventure, traveling across the country.  Betty always made each new home just that “home”.

They were blessed with three children, nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild which were her pride and joy.  She is survived by her husband Jack, sons Jack David II (Cheryl) and Russell Dean (Danna), the grand and great-grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Lucille, brother John and daughter Cheryl Jean.

Graveside services will be held at Maple Hills Cemetery, Kirksville, MO.
