Leo “Daryl” Baker
-
Funeral Services:
Leo “Daryl” Baker, a pillar of our Charlotte community, died June 9, 2022 at the age of 84. Daryl’s accomplishments throughout his life are many and his involvement with organizations have been an example of wonderful leadership. The Charlotte Rotary “HERO AWARD” was given in May, and certainly gives a well-deserved standing ovation to a lifelong servant nature that he has portrayed. Daryl served as Mayor of Charlotte for 14 years; Eaton County Commissioner for 22 years; Charlotte City Council for 30 years; Eaton Federal Banks Board for 30 years; Airport Advisory Board; Charlotte Jaycees; United Way; Charlotte Community Nursery School Board Member; Charlotte High School Building Committee Chairman; Cubmaster, Cub Scout of America leader; St. Mary Church, Pastoral Commission and Finance Committee; St. Mary, Knights of Columbus; Charlotte Community Recreation Committee; coached Baseball and soccer; Michigan Air National Guard /part-time for 4 ½ years with honorable discharge; Charlotte Rotary Club, member for 53 years, and President of the Rotary Club in 83/84; Can-Do Committee for two years; Charlotte Rising; as well as owning and operating an insurance agency that was well known and trusted for 55 plus years. Once retirement age for most arrived, he sold his business to his daughter, Charla and another associate, Brian Lautzenheiser, but he didn’t ever retire. Seemingly, he wouldn’t have any free time to speak of, but he enjoyed using the construction skills he learned from his father and attending trade school to build their home in Charlotte, as well as their cabin in the U.P. Among some of Daryl’s favorite memories include enjoying great times with grandkids at the cabin (often with his straw hat on and his chainsaw within reach), running the trails on their ATVs, and of course on the golf course. Daryl was born on May 27, 1938 in Lake Odessa, Michigan to Leo James and Margaret L. (Powers) Baker. His quiet demeanor and ability to be a great salesman who cared deeply about the community helped his reputation grow. He said, “I enjoy working with the citizen, listening to the needs and concerns and acting on reasonable fulfillment of those needs.” Daryl served as a Cub Scout leader and lived his life following the motto and creed that it taught, to look around the community for projects that improve. He adored and cherished his family making the many memories they will carry in their hearts.
Daryl is survived by his wife, Mary Jean (Martens) Baker; children, Charla (Chris) Parkinson, Michael Baker, Thomas Baker, James (Amy) Baker, Matthew Baker, and Marcus (Cherish Passeno) Baker; 10 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren; siblings, Marcelyn Kelley, Darlene (Robert) Raymer, Doyle (Jackie) Baker, Rosemary (David) DeWaters; and many nieces and nephews.

Elizabeth Parish
-
Funeral Services:
A too-short life filled with music and a fierce love for her children came to an end June 4, 2022, when Betsy (Elizabeth) Ann Parish was taken from this earth after a sudden and swift illness.
Born October 25, 1958, Betsy found joy in the small things – a good book, a rocking vinyl, time spent at the sewing machine, creating music and a good cup of coffee.
She was quick to voice her opinions but quicker to help anyone who asked.
Through her we know what perseverance and resilience look like. She had an all-encompassing love for her children and grandchildren. Cross one of hers and you crossed her – an act not to be taken lightly.
A lover of music, Betsy just celebrated 50 years of playing her beloved Armstrong flute. She lent her talents to more than 100 area musical theater productions. The pits will be a bit emptier without her amazing musicality and sarcasm.
Betsy always had a creative project or two under way. Her crocheted hats could cover every head in the Valley and still have several to spare. Her sewing machine(s) were constantly abuzz with a task – usually hemming the pants of her youngest daughter.
Her favorite pastime, however, was supporting and cheering on her children and grandchildren in all of their endeavors. She rarely missed a school or extracurricular activity, big or small and her unwavering support will be greatly missed.
She was preceded in death by parents Lafayette and Sylvia Williams. She is survived by brother Paul (Debbie) Williams, sister Jane Owen, daughters Sara (Ed) Sheldon and Amy Jo (Judd) Brown, grandchildren Elizabeth, Benjamin and Sylvia, nieces, nephews and a legacy of honest, authentic living.
A service will be held on Saturday, June 11 at 11a.m. with a luncheon to follow at Chester Gospel Church 3744 West Vermontville Hwy., Vermontville.
In lieu of flowers, please consider giving to a starving musician you know so the music can continue.
Whenever she found a saying or recipe worth saving she wrote it down on whatever was close – a paper plate, an old receipt, anything that would hold ink. Among these pages are scraps of wisdom she found significant that we now pass on to you. “When you stumble – make it part of the dance.” “When you can’t get it right – go left.”
Funeral Arrangements entrusted to Daniels Funeral Home, Nashville, MI. For more information please visit our website www.danielsfuneralhome.net.
