Leah Baker Obituary

Visit the Smith Benton Funeral Home - Benton website to view the full obituary.

Leah Michelle Baker, 37, of Alexander, Arkansas, left this earth on December 1, 2024, passing peacefully with her beloved husband and son by her side. Born November 17, 1987, Leah graduated from Joe T. Robinson High School in Little Rock. It was in high school where she met the love of her life, Robert, with whom she spent the next 19 cherished years together. 

Leah loved her family and friends. When she wasn’t spending time with her man, you could find her cheering on Brady at the dirt track or spoiling her nieces and nephews. Leah was also an incredible cook, preparing delicious meals and baking for her family and of course the racing crew. 

Leah is preceded in death by her mother, Karen Goodson, and sister, Afton Hearnsberger. She is survived by her husband, Robert, her son, Bradyn "Brady", her dogs, Bristol and Brynn, and countless family and friends. 

A visitation will be held at Smith Benton Family Funeral Home on Thursday, December 5, 2024, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Funeral services will be at Crystal Hill Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas on Friday, December 6, 2024, at 1:30 p.m., followed by the burial service at Pine Crest Cemetery at 3:00 p.m.
