BAKER, Betty Hudson
Our dear mother, Betty, was born August 25, 1923 in Idabel, OK. She departed this life on June 19, 2017, at home, surrounded by loved ones. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 68 years, Gregory Baker, whose ashes will be interred with hers as the family gathers graveside September 9. Betty is survived by children Foster (Nancy Lee), Marcus (Nancy Jo), and Linden (Michael Summer), 7 grandchildren, and 9 great grandchildren. Betty was a precious jewel of a person, generous with love, warmth, and mirth, who delighted in her family and friends. Her exquisite coloratura soprano voice, honored nationwide in her youth, was a perfect match for Gregory's beautiful baritone. They shared this gift over their many years in operettas, liturgical choral works, and private performances.
