Before she became a homemaker to raise their children in 1966, Alma worked on an assembly line, she waitressed, and she packed bottles at Owens Illinois glass factory. Outside of her volunteer work at the church, Alma, who loved children, also led Cub Scouts and Missionettes. In retirement, the Bakers enjoyed traveling in their converted Greyhound bus-motorhome. Alma enjoyed collecting refrigerator magnets from their travels, baking, doing puzzles, and spending time with her grandkids.
Alma is survived by her husband Larry; her children Keith Baker, Mark (Deb) Baker, Lisa (Mark) Gill, and Larry Baker Jr.; and brother Earl Sebolt.
