Glenice Lamb Baker

1936 ~ 2026

Glenice Lamb Baker, 89, passed away on January 7, 2026 while surrounded by her family.

She was born on August 31, 1936 in Moroni, Utah to Glen D Lamb and Jennie Reah Anderson. Raised in Utah, she graduated from Provo High School in 1954 and always spoke so happily about her school days. Following graduation she married Gearld H. (Pete) Peterson in July 1954 in the Salt Lake Temple. They welcomed a baby daughter Cheryl Ann in August 1955. Pete, unexpectedly, passed away in January 1956. A couple of years later Glenice married her childhood friend Thomas Carl Baker in the Salt Lake Temple on August 4, 1958. Together they welcomed four sons and 1 more daughter, along with 20 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.

Glenice's greatest joy was being a wife and mother. She would frequently say that all she ever wanted to do in life was to grow up, get married and have babies. She loved her babies, grandbabies and great grandbabies. Family and God were the focus of her life. She and Tom seldom took trips alone because Glenice always wanted to take her family along. She kept an organized, orderly home and prepared countless meals for her family and all who came to visit. She taught her children to work, serve others and love all. Her love and selflessness had a profound impact on all who knew her.

Glenice was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She loved serving in the Primary with all the children. She also enjoyed serving in the Relief Society and spent countless hours checking up on all the sisters, visiting them and sending cards and notes to let them know they were loved. She also served as an early morning seminary teacher and would often say it was her favorite calling.

After her husband Tom finished his Masters Degree at Brigham Young University (1969), he accepted a teaching position at Allegany Community College in Cumberland, Maryland. Together Glenice and Tom moved their family all the way from Utah to Maryland and they spent 50 years raising their family in the beautiful green hills of Western Maryland. The Cumberland ward members became like a family and they had many wonderful memories serving together. Glenice missed her family out west and would look forward every summer to road trips to Utah to spend time with her parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and siblings. She looked forward to the day that she could live closer to her family again.

Glenice is preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Tom Baker, her parents Glen and Reah Lamb, a son Benjamin L Baker, brothers John Dee Lamb and Rickey Glen Lamb and other beloved brothers and sisters in law.
