Bobbie Baker Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Johnson-Moore Funeral Home AKA Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow - Pottsboro on Feb. 9, 2026.
Bobbie Jean Baker, 89, of Pottsboro, Texas, passed away on February 6, 2026. She was born on August 2, 1936, in Pottsboro to Jess and Winnie Anderson.

Bobbie, better known as "Nannie" or "Mom," attended Denison High School and spent her life devoted to caring for others. Known as a loving caregiver, she had a gentle heart and a giving spirit. In her quieter moments, she enjoyed working puzzles, tending to her plants, and finding peace in the simple joys of home. She was a proud member of the American Legion and treasured the friendships and community she found there.

Above all else, Bobbie loved her family. She found her greatest happiness in spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, creating memories that will be cherished for generations.

She is survived by her sons, Mitchel Baker, Denis Baker, Torey Baker, and Jeff Baker; her daughter, Sonja Stanley; her grandchildren, Weldon, Nick, Jessica, and Cody; and her great-grandchildren, Annika, Sidney, Shayne, Sarah, Silas, and Scarlett; along with numerous nieces and nephews and a host of great friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jess and Winnie Anderson; her beloved husband, Jessie Baker; and her daughter, Deborah Payne.

Bobbie will be remembered for her kindness, her nurturing spirit, and the love she so freely gave to everyone around her.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, the 13th, at 2:00 p.m. at Johnson-Moore Pottsboro Chapel, located at 511 W. FM 120, Pottsboro, Texas 75076.
