Carol Baker Obituary
Carol was the proud owner of Jiggs Rootbeer Stand in Defiance, where she shared her warm smile, hard work, and welcoming spirit with generations of loyal customers and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Florence Devine, and her sister, Lois Kohout.
Carol is survived by her brother, Gary "Jiggs" Devine; her children Timothy (Amanda) Baker, Lisa (Mike) Linthicum, and Amy (Chris) Patterson; grandchildren Kevin Kucera, Tyler Wilson, Cabe Lulfs, Cole Lulfs, and Ava Baker; and five great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy.
A woman of deep Catholic faith, Carol found strength and peace through her devotion to God and her family. She will be remembered for her kindness, resilience, and the love she shared with all who knew her.
Carol and her husband Roy will be laid to rest together at Riverview Cemetery in Defiance, Ohio.
