Most importantly Frances met and married her spouse of 69 years Dick Baker in 1940. Dick served in the Navy in the Pacific during the war and upon his return, the couple settled into Williamsburg. Frances worked at Casey's and then Bingley's store, where she would remain for over 25 years.
Dick and Frances had a daughter and a son. The family lived in the Magruder Heights/Wickre Street area with many families of the same age. It did take a village. One of the fondest memories was picnics on Sunday afternoons at the 4H-Club on the James River with so many families from the neighborhood.
Family was the center of Frances's life; her children married and 4 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren followed. Mom became Granny. Her marriage flourished for 69 years until Dick passed in 2009. Shortly after that her daughter Cindy and her son-in-law Butch, moved to Williamsburg to care for Frances. They were a blessing to her with daily life for over 10 years. Mrs. Baker's last year was in the care of Spring Arbor, the family is most grateful for their loving and professional care. Frances Bingley Baker loved the Williamsburg area and its people.
