Nancy Carolyn Watson Baker of Little Rock, Arkansas was born September 22, 1948 in Camden, Arkansas, the daughter of the late Lida and Jack Watson.

She was a graduate of Fairview High School and attended Southern State College in Magnolia, Arkansas. She later retired from Southwestern Bell, where she worked faithfully for many years and built many lasting friendships throughout her career. During her time there, she served as President of the CWA Union Local, reflecting her dedication to representing and supporting her fellow employees.

Ms. Baker was a devoted member of First United Methodist Church of Maumelle, Arkansas, where she served as an usher. She cherished her church family and found great joy in serving others. She enjoyed spending time with her friends and loved ones. She especially enjoyed sharing a meal with friends, creating moments of fellowship and laughter.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Stewart Watson.

Survivors include her daughter, Tina Hunter and her husband Jeff; her sister, Jackie Francis; her sister-in-law, Betty Watson; and a host of extended family members and friends who will cherish her memory.

At her request, there will be no service.

My deepest condolences to Tina, Jeff and the whole family. I just talked to Nancy a few weeks ago and I told her she sounded so good! Every time she and I talked she told me about her great neice that plays volleyball in Texas and all about her family. I feel like I watched all those kids grow up through Nancy. She sure loved her family and was so proud of everyone. Nancy will be missed by many!

I just saw this obituary and was shocked... I got to work with Nancy and always liked her. She could make me think.. made me laugh and was so beyond her years in her wisdom. Praying for strength for Tina and her family
