Our beloved Carolyn went to be with the Lord on Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012.
Carolyn was born Aug. 21, 1928, to the late Frank and Edna (Smith) Caffey in Lynn County, TX. She graduated from Lubbock High School and worked in the insurance business as an administrative assistant for many years. On June 21, 1975, Carolyn married the love of her life, Fred Baker, in Santa Rosa, CA.

In 2001, following retirement, they moved to Lubbock, TX and again Carolyn partnered with Fred as they ministered to young couples through their ministry, 'The Wedding Pastor.' When they took time for themselves, they loved to travel in their motorhome visiting family and friends. Carolyn loved all kinds of music and enjoyed attending all of the different types of musical performances by Texas Tech.
