Tiny was such a dear neighbor and family friend. She was also one of the sweetest ladies I know. My sisters and I loved visiting her, and I know my dad (a.k.a Bobby to Tiny) was very fond of her. She will be missed. We are thinking of you all during this difficult time.

We always enjoyed every family
get-together and Aunt Tiny hosted so many of them. Tiny had that great Baker sense of humor and could tell
the best family stories of times
past and present. She always asked about everyone and was genuinely concerned for all. We will sadly
miss our Aunt Tiny. Our sympathy to
all of you during this difficult time.

Anne Lucille “Tiny” Kicas went home to the Lord on April 25, 2018, at the age of 93. The youngest of nine children, she was known to her brothers and sisters as “The Tiny Baby” and later became known to her family and friends just as “Tiny”.
Anne graduated from Hart High School and lived most of her life in the Hart/Pentwater area. In 1945 she traveled to Douglas, Arizona and married John Kicas on June 15. The happy couple lived on the base before moving back to Pentwater.
During her life she held a variety of jobs including working at Gibb’s Goodies in Ludington, as a secretary at Merksin and Merksin Law Office and as a secretary at the county courthouse in Hart.
The two great passions of her life were her family and her Catholic faith. A long-time member of St. Vincent Church in Pentwater, she was very active until her health declined. Although unable to attend church, Anne constantly prayed for friends and family. She was especially devoted to the Rosary, in fact, she was never without a Rosary in her hand.
Anne spent the last four years of her life at the Oceana County Medical Care Facility where she found many old friends from the Hart/Pentwater area and made new friends among the nurses and aides working there. Even toward the end she always amazed people with her great memory. She could recall names and even the tiniest details from the past.
Anne was preceded in death by her parents, Francis (Mueller) and Fred Baker, husband John (2006), daughter Susan Pasaternak, young son Little John, an infant son and her brothers and sisters.
She is survived by daughter Karen (Tom) Kavanagh, son Tom (Debby), grandchildren Holly (Jim) Duthie, Mark Whitmore, Anna Kicas and Mike Pasternak, and great-grandchildren MacKenzi and Griffin Duthie and Kalif and Natalie Kavanagh and many nieces and nephews.
She will be missed by all.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 AM, Monday, April 30, 2018, at St. Vincent Catholic Church, in Pentwater, with Father Phillip Sliwinski presiding. Interment will be in Mt. Calvary Cemetery. Visitation will be held Sunday, April 29, 2018, from 4-6 PM with a time to pray the Rosary at 5:45 PM, at Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service, King-Hart Chapel, 2370 N. 72nd Avenue, Hart, Michigan, 49420.
