"The Davis Enterprise," Saturday, June 12, 2004
Lynda G. Baker

Lynda Genevieve Baker died June 5, 2004. She was 42.

Born Sept. 20, 1961, in Sacramento, her family moved to Davis when she was 3
years old. She attended local schools, and music was always an important part of
her life. She began playing the viola in grade school. In junior high she played
flute in the orchestra. She started voice lessons at that time and was in the
Concert Choir, and performed in a number of school musicals.

While attending Davis High School, she was a member of the youth choir at Davis
Community Church under the direction of Rachel Kessler. In 1979, her senior
year, she was pleased to be accepted into the Madrigals and performed under the
direction of Richard Brunelle.

While she was very humble about her academic achievements, her family is proud
to share that Lynda was on the dean's list during her time at UC Davis.

In the early 1980s she moved to Sacramento. She continued her interest in music
by learning to play guitar. She began to perform her original songs at open mike
nights in Sacramento and the Bay Area.

Her loss is keenly felt at the Sacramento Bee, where she worked for the last 14
years. She was grateful to work for a company that was so supportive and caring
of its employees and where she made dear friends. She touched many lives at the
Bee and they have tenderly shared their sorrow and sympathy with her family.

She was preceded in death by her oldest sister, Janice, in 1996.

She is survived by her mother, Clarice of Davis; father, Douglas and wife Patty
of Wilton; brother, John and his wife Judi of Chicago; sisters, Liz and Laura
and her husband Frank of Davis; and nieces and nephews, Jessica, Isaac, Billy,
Anny, Julian, Jillian, Noelle and Olivia. She also leaves behind many aunts,
uncles, cousins and friends.

Friends are invited to attend a memorial service at 11 a.m. Friday at First
Baptist Church, 38141 Russell Blvd. in Davis. Memorial contributions may be made
to Davis High School Music Department. Arrangements are under the direction of
Davis Funeral Chapel.
