On Friday, July 19, 2019, Norma Jean Baker, 84, entered into the presence of the Lord. She had waited her entire Christian life for that moment. Her faith has been made sight. Norma was born on April 14, 1935. She was the daughter of the late Herold and Ella Duckworth. Her biological mother was the late Myrtle Beckwith. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother Lawerance Duckworth; granddaughter Elizabeth Baker; and daughter-in-law Lori Baker. Norma was a devoted wife to Lucian Darrell Baker, I, who will miss her deeply. She was a dedicated mother to Barry Ayers and Brian (Denetta) Ayers, whom she loved with every fiber of her being.

She was affectionately known as "Gran" to 14 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. She was the sister of Judy (John) Moxley and sister-in-law to Connie Duckworth. She leaves behind Kim (Chris) Hanson, whom she loved. Norma formerly worked for The Prestera Center. During her retirement years she enjoyed volunteering with the American Red Cross. Norma was a member of Cross Roads United Methodist Church where she joyfully and faithfully served in many circles, church committees, and the church choir.

The family would like to extend a most heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff of the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House and St. Mary's Skilled Nursing Unit for being so compassionate during a most difficult season of life. Norma fought the good fight, she finished her course, and she kept the faith. She has claimed her crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:7-8).
