Maxine G. Baker

Maxine G. Baker, "Max", 77 of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, passed away, Monday, May 13, 2019 at her residence.

Born in Coatesville, she was the daughter of the late Robert Lee Graham and Margaret Franklin Graham.  She was a graduate of S. Horace Scott High School.

She was the wife of James E. Baker, Sr., with whom she shared 44 years of marriage. James and Maxine worked together at the Coatesville VA Hospital for 28 years and retired together on the same day. Maxine also worked for the Coatesville School District for 12 years.

Maxine was a beautiful woman with a huge heart who is truly loved by many. She was the matriarch, the backbone, bridging the connection of six generations. Even in her last days she cared for people selflessly and compassionately without complaint. She was a faithful member of the Coatesville area Kingdom Hall congregation. Serving Jehovah in field ministry gave her great pleasure. She will be remembered as a pillar of strength both in her family and in the community as she truly embodied the spirit of service.
