Mr. and Mrs. Baxter gave great strength to me through their teachings as I was growing up. I know their teachings live through their sons now and their grandchildren. A lucky world to have Mrs. Baxter travel in your mind forever.

Mrs. Baxter offered to me unconditional love as she led teen groups at church when I was young. I'm now 74 and have felt her teachings and love walking with me through my life. I feel so blessed to have known this family. Donnie and Robbie, I know you are aware how lucky you were to have had her for such a long time. My condolence to you in you loss.

Jim & Marge were two well loved heavyweights at Orcutt BC. What a joy it was to have known them and have them in our home.
Lives worth living are lives worth remembering.
Our sincere condolences to the family.

Don and Helen, I am sorry to read of the passing of your mom and mother-in-law. You were mighty fortunate to have her as long as you did. May the pleasant memories of the past help ease the pain and sorrow that you are now feeling.

Mrs. Baxter was a tremendous influence on my life when I was growing up in Orcutt Avenue Baptist Church. I will never forget the pajama parties she would have for the YWA's in your home. I shared her obituary on the Newport News High School Alumni page on facebook and there were quite a few posts with remembrances of her positive influence. Your family will be in my prayers.

Don, Rob and family. So so sorry to learn of the passing of your mother, she was a wonderful person. I grew up in Orcutt and spent many of my teen years in Marge and Jim's Sunday School Class. I would like to think they were a positive influence on my life. Later on every time we would come home from church and after visiting with them in Kiln Creek, my wife Beverly would always remark that if she could be like anyone in the world it would be Marge Baxter. Our thoughts and prayers are with you especially on this wonderful Mother's Day. Ron & Beverly Rogers

So sorry to hear about Marge. She was such a wonderful neighbor and friend. I remember Helen and Jim working in the backyard with the W&M games on the radio. I am working today so will not be able to attend the services.
