 Kathryn Turner Baker, 90, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, on Sunday, September 22, 2024, at her home.

 Born in Pickens County, she was the only child of the late Charlie A. Turner and Settie King Turner.

 She was a graduate of Easley High School and North Greenville Junior College. She retired from the Pickens County School District, after 30 years of service as a school secretary where she worked most recently at McKissick Elementary School. 

 Mrs. Baker was a 5th generation member of Cross Roads Baptist Church, active in WMU, the children’s ministry, and enjoyed going on mission trips.

 In retirement, she enjoyed traveling to visit her grandchildren and volunteering at United Christian Ministries. She was an avid reader and loved sending out cards to her church family and friends.

 She is survived by her husband of 70 years, Harry L. Baker; her daughters, Lee Ann Threatt (Jerry) of Easley and Harolyn Baker of Mauldin; two grandchildren, Tony Threatt (Melissa) of Greenville and Kelly Rollins (Jason) of Virginia Beach, VA; and four great-grandchildren, Lillian and Miles Threatt, and Hailey and Connor Rollins.

 The family would like to give a special “Thank you” to the staff and nurses at Interim Hospice and Personal Care, especially Mrs. Baker’s longtime caregiver, Cheryl Lillis.

 The family will receive friends on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, from 12:30 PM until 1:30 PM at Cross Roads Baptist Church with the service to follow at 2:00 PM in the church sanctuary. The burial will be in the church cemetery.

The service can be viewed live by visiting Cross Roads Baptist Church website.
