Carol married the love of her life, the late Clifton Baker, on September 2, 1951, in Yuma, Arizona. She will be remembered for being a woman of many talents. Carol was an amazing artist that lovingly created each grandchild a gift of a drawing of themselves as a graduation present. She baked special birthday cakes that could only be rivaled by her wedding cakes. Her drawings where so detailed people have mistaken them as actual photographs. Carol also made the clothes for her children and grandchildren. She was very family oriented. Her designs of their earth covered home, became the actual blueprint for the home. Carol had a huge heart and terrific sense of humor. She was a very hands-on person that liked to contribute in anyway possible. She volunteered to clean and repair damaged toys, dolls, stuffed animals, making each repair very personal and then returning them back to be given away. Carol enjoyed watching birds, especially hummingbirds. She like to camp and made several trips to California to visit family. Carol liked to dine out, but did enjoy making a good, hearty breakfast, with the pretense of dining out. Carol is survived by her children, Chris Baker, Craig (Judy) Baker, Connie (David) Kemler and Curtis (Tina) Baker; her grandchildren, Alex Baker, Eric (Griselda) Baker, Becky Kemler, Katie (Markcus) Cole, Elizabeth (Daniel) Pardee, Jonathan Kemler, Andy (Paige) Kemler, Joe (Jenny) Kemler, Peter (Lydia) Kemler, Christina (Phil) Harney, Ivy (Josh) Sears and Denae Baker; 15 great grandchildren, with one more on the way; and many nieces and nephews.
