Florence M. Kerner Baker, 91 of 6139 W. State Route 29, Urbana, Ohio went to

WWII on October 24, 1941. She graduated from Bliss Business College in 
Columbus and although she did work some outside the home, her primary vocation

Christian, she influenced, guided, and touched her family and those around her.
Mrs. Baker was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Noble (Ned) Baker 
who died in 1993. In addition to her parents, two brothers Clarence and

to be with the Lord.

Baker is also survived by one sister-in-law Jan Baker of Reynoldsburg, 
numerous nieces and nephews, and some very special friends.
Mrs. Baker was a long time member of Concord United Methodist Church and the
