Sharon Kay Baker

Sharon Kay Baker, 59, was called home to Heaven on November 28, 2015 after succumbing to the symptoms related to failing health due to a stroke suffered in January 2015.Sharon was born in Dallas TX on August 7, 1956 to Ernest Gail Baker (“Gail”) and Nelda Sue Baker. She was a life-long native of Dallas, who worked at the Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company for 30 years, retiring in March 2014. Her life revolved around family, friends and a love of animals. She was a regular contributor to the SPCA for many years. In her younger days and throughout her life she loved boating and water skiing, playing the guitar and singing. She was an avid reader, who loved puzzles, computer games and was unbeatable in trivia. Sharon was as good of a daughter, sister, and friend that anyone could ask for, and she will be missed deeply by all who knew and loved her. Sharon was all about family, and even though she meant something different to each of us, she was family to all of us. It is easy to understand why her friendships spanned over forty or fifty years. Sharon had a larger than life personality bringing happiness to everyone around her. She would put on a tough veneer to hide a warm and giving heart that never knew a stranger or refused help to someone in need. She had a wry sense of humor, and she loved to slip a joke into the conversations leaving everyone laughing. It is difficult to sum up all that Sharon was and all that she meant to those she left behind. We will miss you Sharon, but will see you again. Sharon is survived by her sister Donna, companion of 20 years Phyllis, several cousins and other family members. Sharon is preceded in death by her parents Gail and Nelda, and other family members and close friends. Please join a host of family and friends to mourn the loss of Sharon Kay Baker’s passing and rejoice in her life with our Heavenly Father.
