I have wonderful early childhood memories of James & Carol. I thought they were so much fun to be around. Carol was always so beautiful and James was funny. As a little girl, I loved being around them. May God bless each of you with wonderful memories and the comfort of His presence.

I wish to extend our condolences to all of the family of Carol Baker.
She was a devoted mother to her children, a proud grandmother and a loyal and loving wife to James Baker. I think about how Uncle James and Aunt Carol met in school in El Dorado and were together always throughout their lives. My mother is Geneva Puterbaugh, brother to William James Baker. I remember visiting Uncle James and Aunt Carol several summers as I was growing up. We had moved to California. Aunt Carol was always either on the go shopping, picking up William and Elizabeth or planning her next gourmet meal. She cooked gourmet dinners for the family. She could tackle any recipe with joy and ease.

Thinking of all of and Aunt Carol and still .....of Uncle James
