My mother, Genevieve Snodgrass, was a friend of Chuck and Barbara's. She spoke so fondly of both and always enjoyed her visits with Barbara's. She'd say "she's such a lady". RIP Mrs. Baker. Say hi to mom for me. ❤️

I remember Ms Barbara very well. She was a dear lady. Many years ago, when the church offered a "Gift Share Fair" Ms Barbara's gift she shared was teaching us how to make her Jezebel Sauce. It was so tasty. I love bringing her Jezebel Sauce to share at social gatherings. My condolences to all of her friends and family.
