Kay Stouffer BAKER

BAKER, Kay Stouffer The laugh. It would make you giggle in a dark theater. You would hear it at family parties. It was heard often and shared freely. It was inclusive and full of joy. But, you won't hear it again. Kay Baker passed away suddenly with a heart attack on October 26, 2016 In 1942, Kay Stouffer Baker was born in Corona, NM, later moved to Safford then Holbrook, AZ. She graduated from Holbrook High in 1960, ASU as a nurse, and later with master degrees from the UA. Kay married Roy Baker and they were blessed with sons, David and Nathan. She survived two bouts of cancer and a brain tumor to see them marry Maura and Sandi. David's children, (Payton, Tressa) and Nathan's (Callum, Ronan) allowed for her cherished role as Yaya. Her career began at TMC and ended as a nursing instructor for Pima Community College. Kay is also survived by her mother, Marian Lisitzky (102), brother, Robert Stouffer and his wife, Ginni. A Memorial will be conducted at St. Pius on Monday, November 21, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers please make donations to Casa de los Ninos or the Community Food Bank.
