Amy Baker Obituary
Amy grew up in Bakersfield and Tehachapi, CA and graduated with honors from Stockdale High School. She had a beautiful inquiring mind and always worked to learn and understand herself. She was extremely proud to be the mother of Mia Chritiana Skeels, age 20. She also had a gift for speaking French and expressing what was on her mind.
Amy is survived by her daughter, Mia Chrstiana Skeels; Mom and Dad, David and Eileen Simpson; Father, Brian Baker; and half brother, Ryan Baker. She had numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins who also loved her dearly. We thank Jeremiah Skeels, the entire Skeels family, and our special friend Mendy Bowler. Amy was predeceased in death by Dr. Vernon and Mary Jensen, her maternal grandparents of Texas. Let's not forget her beloved cat Oliver.
A memorial service will be held in the sanctuary of St. John's Luthean Church, 4500 Buena Vista Road, Bakersfield, CA at 1 pm on Friday, October 21st, 2022.
Please share with us God's peace that passes all understanding and brings to Amy her well deserved rest. The family requests memorial donations be made to NAMI (The National Association for the Mentally Ill) or Bakersfield Christian High School in memory of Amy Baker, the mother of Mia Skeels.
