Katherine Marie Baker, age 78, went home to the Lord on October 23, 2014. Born in Earlhurst, VA, Kathy was a resident of Williamsburg since 1953. Kathy was a deeply spiritual follower of the Pentecostal faith and was a longtime member of Greensprings Chapel.

Baker Jr. She is survived by her son Donald Wayne Baker of Williamsburg, her brothers Russell N. Waid of Norge and Gordon W.
