Danise Baker Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 9, 2017.
Danise left us on Monday, May 8, 2017. Our hearts are broken, but we will always remember her beautiful smile. She could light up a room. She was loving and caring of all people and things. Danise was born in Dayton, Ohio on February 5, 1972. She graduated from Stratford High School
in Houston, Texas. She got her Dental Hygiene degree at the University of Texas.

In 1988 Danise won the Miss Teen Houston contest and went on to win Miss Teen Texas. She modeled for the D'Lynn Modeling agency and taught modeling there.

She was loved by the many patients she worked with as a Hygienist. She was skilled, gentle and worked really well with children. She recently had a Downs Syndrome boy ask her to marry him.

Danise leaves behind three daughters Jenna, Kailey and Alyssa Burkes. She is also survived by her mother Linda O'Neill, father Danny Baker, step father Ken O'Neill, step mother Jane Baker, brother Danny Baker, sister in law Angie Baker, nephews Ellis and Kason Baker, grandfather Hank Hecker. She had a host of uncles, aunts and cousins.

Arrangements under the direction of Katy Funeral Home, Katy, TX.

I love you so much. I'm trying to find the words to express my sadness and pray to God for the girls, and all your family. I know you're in the arms of your sweet Nanny right now, but you and I had business to tend to. I suppose that will just have to wait awhile. Rest peacefully my lifelong friend and I pray you knew I loved you more than you could imagine, even during the times we were apart. The memories are never fading and I know each one by heart. Too hard to say goodbye.

Words cannot express how I feel... Danise and I met 16 years ago in the maternity ward after we gave birth to our first born daughters. She had a kind heart and a sweet soul. She loved her family, friends and God. I will always have good memories... My heartfelt sympathies to her sweet girls and her family. May her memory be Eternal.
