Brenda J. Baker, 59, passed away Thursday (Dec. 20, 2012) at Jones Memorial Hospital following a brief illness.

Mrs. Baker was born on July 26, 1943 in Wellsville to John R. and Jean (Lyon) Burdsall. She was a 1961 graduate of Wellsville Central School. On May 30, 1964, she married Richard M. “Dick” Baker, who survives.

Brenda was a stay at home mom and devoted her life to her husband and children.

In addition to her husband of 48 years, she is survived by two sons, R. Bruce (Jennifer) Baker of Frederick, Md. and David (Rachel) Baker of North Beach, Md.; one brother, John R.

Brenda loved books and was an avid reader.  Through the years, the simple pleasure of spending time with her husband, children, and grand children was most dear to her heart.  She was also devoted to her many friends, enjoying special memories together.  Brenda cherished her relationships and drew strength from the love of family and friends.
