Norine Mae Baker
Norine Mae Baker, 90, passed away on Thursday, October 20th, 2011, from
congestive heart failure, a condition that put her in and out of the
hospital several times over the past few months. She was a resident at
Heartland of Greenville and was surrounded by members of her family and
people who loved her when she went to her heavenly home.
Norine was a lifelong resident of Greenville and was preceded in death
by her husband, John P. Baker and her parents, Oneta and Ora “Pete”
Weaver, who ran a bicycle and small engine shop on Markwith Avenue. A
former resident of Treaty Manor, Norine broke her hip and was moved to
Heartland for rehabilitation. Her injury, however, was more severe than
imagined and she became a permanent resident of Heartland in October
2006.
Norine is survived by one sister Orleta Duebner, her seven children,
Larry R. Baker of Texas, Terry L Baker (& Judy Schneider) of
Greenville, James D. Baker of Tipp City, Laque A. Stevens (& Bill
Stevens) of Greenville, Jack R. Baker (& Marsha Baker) of
Greenville, Manzaneita K. Ehlers (& Larry Braun) of Chesapeake,
Virginia, and John A. Baker (& Sonya Baker) of Tipp City. In
addition, Norine has 27 grandchildren and numerous great and
great-great-grandchildren.
She will be sorely missed by her family and the many, many friends who
knew her. The Baker family would like to express their sincere thanks
to the staff at Heartland for all the love, help and compassion they
have shown Norine over the past several years.
A funeral service will be held at 10:30 A.M. on Wednesday, October 26,
2011 at Zechar Bailey Funeral Home in Greenville. The family will
receive friends on Tuesday from 5:00 to 8:00 P.M. at the funeral home.
She will be laid to rest in the Greenville-Union Cemetery next to her
mother, father and two sisters. In lieu of flowers, the family requests
you please make a contribution to Hospice of Heartland so they can
continue their great work with the terminally ill. Condolences for the
family may be expressed through www.zecharbailey.com
