RuthAnn Brown Baker

Our beautiful wife and mother RuthAnn Brown Baker returned to her Father in Heaven on  October 12, 2021, at home, surrounded by her adoring family. She was born December 13,  1948 in Tooele, Utah as the fifth child in a family of seven children who’s parents were Kenneth  and Edith Brown.

RuthAnn graduated from Tooele High in 1967. She had a beautiful alto voice and sang in many  high school events. RuthAnn and her brother, Joesph, were members of one of the first  seminary choirs to sing in the tabernacle for General Conference . She was a model for her  family business, The Merc, and modeled for Jack’s Bridal Arts in Salt Lake. She served a  mission for The Church of Jesus of Latter-day Saints in her ancestral land of Sweden from  March 1970 – November 1971. She attended college at Brigham Young University and worked  at the BYU bookstore. It is there, she met the love of her life, Loyal Baker. They married in the  SLC Temple August 10, 1972. To this wonderful marriage, they welcomed 14 children, 7 boys  and 7 girls. She was the rock and glue to the family. Everyone could turn to her for love and  support whenever they needed. She was the family babysitter and loved to watch all her  grandkids while her kids worked. She loved to have her children and grandchildren around  every second she could. She often would sit for hours just to listen to her kids play games and  talk about past stories of childhood. One of her last, and favorite, family trips was to North  Carolina to attended her son’s, Joshua, graduation from Medical School. After she raised her  kids, she went back to school to further her education and became a Medical Assistant. She  was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She held many  callings in the Church, her favorite was being the Relief Society Chorister where she lead the  singing and taught about the origins of the hymns. She has had a profound influence on  everyone and has lived her life touching our hearts and lifting our spirits.
