Juanita Baker

Juanita Baker, age 85 of Hamilton, passed away on Saturday, July 2, 2016. She was born in Madison County, Kentucky on September 17, 1930 to William and Gracie (York) Bowles. On January 31, 1947 in Jackson County, Kentucky she married Gilbert Baker, who preceded her in death in 1991. Juanita was a woman of principle and integrity, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and homemaker. She also worked at Sutton Optical for several years. It comforts us today to know that Juanita is with her Lord and Savior for all eternity, and that she is free of the horrific grip of Alzheimer’s.

She is survived by her devoted and loving children, Robert (Darlene) Baker, Bruce Baker, and Geraldine Depew; grandchildren, Bobby (Linda) Baker, Jody (Bryan) Houck, Adam Baker, Andrew Baker, and Elizabeth (Cris) Ponder; two precious great grandchildren, Alex baker, and Ava Houck. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Gilbert Baker; and her parents.

Private funeral services were held. Burial followed at Butler County Memorial Park. Condolences can be made at www.browndawsonflick.com.
