Luetta Baker

Visitation will be at noon and a memorial service at 2 p.m. today in Murphy Funeral Home at Marked Tree.
She was born Nov. 2, 1927, to Wheeler and Alma Morris in Savannah, Tenn. She leaves a sister, Marie Hutchins of Long Beach, Calif.; and a brother, Eugene Morris of Marked Tree.
On July 9, 1944, she married the love of her life, J.C. Baker, who went home to wait for her on Nov. 3, 1992. They have two loving daughters, Joyce Baker Brown of Marked Tree and Judy Baker Fox of Marion.
She was baptized into the Lord’s church in May 1957 at Lepanto Church of Christ by James Benson. She devoted her life to her Lord and her family and died a member of the Missouri Street Church of Christ family.
As her family grew, so did her capacity to love grow. She leaves behind son-in-law Jimmy Brown of Marked Tree; grandchildren, Robert Fox and wife Deann of Tyronza, Lisa Fox Halbach and husband John of Marion, Tim Brown and fiancée Amy Saponara of Marion, and Lacey Brown of Marked Tree; and great-grandchildren, Blake and Jessica Fox of Tyronza, Brianna Walker, Christian Peppers of Marion, Emily, Chris and Rush Halbach of Jackson, Miss.
During her lifetime she exemplified the calling of wife and mother but had great capacity to share her love as a Pink Lady at Crittenden Memorial Hospital. For 14 years she was “mom” to hundreds of pre-school children at West Memphis Christian Day Care.
In her later years her frustration with her failing body was clear to all who knew her because of her giving nature. She lived to serve her family and loved ones and her Lord. She is at home with her beloved husband of 49 years, waiting and fully expecting to see all those she loves to laugh another day.
