Vickie Lee Baker

Vickie Lee Baker, 64, of Washington, PA passed away on Friday, August 23, 2024 surrounded by her loving family. Vickie was a retired teacher.  She taught at McGuffey School District for more than 20 years and loved making a difference in the lives of her students. Vickie met the love of her life, Richard Baker, in Brewster, Ohio and they had been happily married for 38 years.  They loved to go on vacations together and spend summers by the pool with a cold margarita.  Their greatest joy was having their boys, Jordan and Luke.  Vickie absolutely adored her boys and was everything a mom should be.  She never missed a game or an opportunity to give her opinion to a referee and was always their number one fan.  Vickie was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2019 and fought a very hard and courageous battle, beating all the odds because she was motivated by the other greatest loves of her life, her granddaughters, Brinlee and Madison.  She loved making everything special for her granddaughters and children and taking them anywhere just to show them off.  Vickie will be remembered most for her big heart, ability to make any day special, passion for volunteering and helping anyone who needed it and how devoted she was to her family.

She is survived by her husband, Richard Baker; her sons, Jordan (Jess) and Luke (Alissa); her grandchildren, Brinlee and Madison; her mother, Virginia “Ginger” Whitmore as well as a large extended family who she loved very much.

She was preceded in death by her father, Donald Whitmore; her sister, Julie Whitmore; her brother, Scott Whitmore; her mother and father-in-law, William and Mary Kay Baker and her brother-in-law, Bill Baker.

Friends will be received on Thursday, August 29, 2024 from 2:00 P.M. until 5:30 P.M. in the Warco-Falvo Funeral Home, Inc., Wilson at East Katherine Ave., Washington, S. Timothy Warco, Owner/Supervisor, S. Timothy Warco II, Director, Holly Renay Warco, Director.  A memorial service will be held at 5:30 P.M. on Thursday in the funeral home with the Rev. Eric Toohey officiating.  In lieu of flowers, the family has set up a GoFundMe for donations to the McGuffey Relay for Life, an annual fundraiser that Vicki loved to support at gofundme.com/Vicki-Baker-Memorial.  Condolences may be expressed at www.WarcoFalvoFuneralHome.com
