IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Ola Mae
Baker
February 20, 1931 – October 12, 2023
Ola Mae Baker, age 92, of Kingsbury, passed away on October 12, 2023. She was born February 20th, 1931 in Seguin, Texas to Roy and Viola (Adcock) Reneau.
She married Glenn H. Baker on October 15th, 1949. The two enjoyed their early years with their 4 boys, fishing on the San Marcos River at their camp house.
Ola enjoyed cooking and made many good meals on the river and at home for her family and friends. That love for cooking continued throughout her life. She had the best recipes and everyone loved her baked goods and candy. If it didn't turn out, she didn't mind throwing it out the door and trying it again! She loved reading and collecting recipes, and had an enormous library of cookbooks she'd picked up on her travels as well as local churches and organizations.
She loved working in her yard. Even in her later years, she would drag the water hose around, ensuring everything was watered and healthy, and always had such beautiful flowers adorning the fences and her backyard.
She and Glenn loved traveling the States and Canada in their motorhome. Still, Ola cooked their meals while traveling, and every meal on those wheels and at home ended with some kind of wonderful dessert!
She bowled in her younger years, never settling for mediocrity, and had many trophies and pictures for her 200+ scores.
She enjoyed visiting with her lifelong friend, Erna Bell Imhoff, and they still visited until her death.
Her greatest enjoyment was seeing and visiting with her grandkids and great-grandkids. They were the light of her life.
Ola was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn, sons, Dennis and wife Debra, Barry Baker, sister Bettie Jo Snyder, brother-in-law Leslie Baker and wife Joyce, and brother-in-law Bill Perryman.
She is survived by their two sons, Ronnie and wife Becky Baker of Kingsbury, and Jay Baker of Georgetown; grandkids Randall and wife Tonya Baker, Ryan Baker, Jayme Baker Kane and daughter Bonnye, Mallory Baker Weitzman and daughters Haddie, Addy B and Saylor Weitzman, Cayden and wife Karlee Baker, Quinten Baker and friend Halle Scheib, Bryan Baker, Brooke, and Lauren Baker; brother, Butch Reneau and wife Susie; sister-in-law Patricia Baker Perryman; brother-in-law Charles Snyder; along with many nieces and nephews, who she loved deeply.
