Obituary of Margaret Elizabeth Baker

June 12, 1914 - September 17, 2012

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of a living angel, Margaret.

Born and raised in Cranbrook, British Columbia, she always had a lot of stories to tell from the past as Cranbrook expanded. One of her favourite stories was the elephant "Baby Ed" whom she saw running down the road from her window. She spent most of her younger years raising children, which was one of her greatest memories. She loved to bake many things, and one of her best creations was her "lemon loaf". She also enjoyed ironing and washing clothes as one of her many hobbies. One of her favourite shadows was "Brodie Harris" whom she always called her dollie. The two of them shared a special bond together. Her other favourite shadow was her daughter Gloria Harris whom she spent the past 10 years with and was in her home at the time of her passing.

Margaret is survived by her daughters Marlene (Brue Sauder), Gloria Harris, son Lionel (Monica) Baker, Terry (Judy) Baker and she will be sadly missed by many grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Ronald Baker, son Baby Ronnie, Abby, Wayne, daughter Liz Chiz and son-in-law Mervin Harris.

A Celebration Of Margaret's Life will be held on Saturday, September 22, 2012 at 512 - 30th Avenue South at 1:00 pm. A private family Interment will take place in Westlawn Cemetery. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Margaret may do so to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
