Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 11, 2023.
Margaret Jean Baker, known affectionately as Margaret, passed away peacefully on September 27, 2023, in Baltimore, Maryland, at the age of 88. She was born on February 9, 1935, in Baltimore, Maryland,

Margaret was a remarkable woman who never met a stranger. She had a heart of gold and dedicated her life to helping others. For many years, she served as a beloved daycare mother, caring for numerous children who adored her. Margaret's selflessness and nurturing nature made her a cherished figure in the lives of the families she touched.

Not only was Margaret known for her caregiving abilities, but she was also renowned for her culinary skills. She was an exceptional cook and baker, delighting everyone with her delicious creations. Margaret's meals brought people together, and her warm hospitality made every gathering memorable.

Margaret leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory. She is survived by her sister Betty Day, her sons, Robert, David, and Brian, and her daughter, Cheryl. Margaret was also blessed with 17 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild, all of whom brought immense joy to her life.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William Oscar, and her sons, William, Daniel, and Bruce. Margaret also mourned the loss of her grandsons, David II and William Jr., as well as her sister, Eva.

A celebration of Margaret's life will be held at 1000 Franklin Avenue in Essex, Maryland. Family, friends, and all those whose lives were touched by Margaret are invited to attend and pay their respects.

Margaret Jean Baker will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Her legacy of kindness, generosity, and love will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

I remember (Miss) Margaret being in my life since we were small kids. My mother, Stella, met her when she only had 1 child, Billy, and my mom had 1, my brother Michael. They stayed friends the rest of their lives, and continued with me, Gina, after my mom, Stella, passed in 2016. I will miss her very much, our phone conversations were the best. We always said "love you" to each other at the end of our phone conversations, I will miss her forever, "love you Margaret".

I came over for a sleepover one time at the co-op. We had a great time - watching the surveillance footage of the building, arranging her little dolls (which she let me keep!), and just enjoying listening to her talk and sharing her stories. She was a ray of sunlight that will truly be missed.

Margret, known to me as mommom, was a very important person in my life. the room was instantly brighter the second she made any sort of appearance. i can still hear her "hey babydoll" after walking up to her. She showed nothing but love anytime i was around her. my favorite memories with her are the times i would stay the night with her and we would bake, or eat an entire gallon of ice cream while watching a movie. listening to her stories of when she babysat or going through pictures and notes. she meant the world to me. and will be extremely missed. i forever love you.

Margaret was a kind warm soul who was always welcoming. She was always there for her children and grandchildren. People always joke about not liking the mother in law but Margaret was a great mother in law. My prayers are with her family and also with Margaret that she is in Gods eternal kingdom reunited with her family!
