Dorothy Stuckey Baker went to be with the Lord on May 2, 2024. She is reunited with her husband of 58 years, W.H. "Bill" Baker, who died on July 17, 2000.

Dorothy was born April 26, 1925 in Dallas, TX to James D. and Rae Miller Stuckey. She graduated from Huntsville High School and attended the University of Houston Business College. She worked for over 15 years managing one of Houston's largest insurance agencies and later, she assisted her husband in their family real estate firm.

Dorothy was active in the Blue Bird Circle of Houston, The Women's Institute, Village Republican Women, Junior League of Houston, Lakeside Lunch Bunch, and various Bridge Groups. She volunteered at Shriner's Hospital for Children. In 1997, she and Bill were named Volunteers of the Year for the entire Houston Medical Center, the first couple to be so honored. She was also active in and served her church, Chapelwood UMC.

Dorothy always felt the presence of God in her life. God sent Bill Baker (to whom she always referred as "My Bill") into her life at just the right time. They traveled the world together and loved spending time at their Galveston Bay home. Her greatest joy was being with her nieces and nephews, including Great and Great Greats.

Dorothy is predeceased by her parents, brother James T. Stuckey and sister Nina Walker. She is survived by brother Doyle Stuckey and sister Betty Rae Frances, and numerous nieces and nephews.

A Memorial Service will be held May 7, 2024 at 1:00 PM in the Chapel of Chapelwood United Methodist Church, 11140 Greenbay HTX 77024. In lieu of flowers, gifts in Dorothy's memory may be made to the Chapelwood Foundation, or the charity of your choice.
