Donald Cordell

Baker

Donald Cordell Baker was born June 18, 1927 in Ellington, Missouri to Otto Von Baker & Lillie Viola (Bales) Baker. He went to be with the Lord December 27, 2008. Donald was one of ten children: Walker, Leslie, Robert & Bunyan (deceased); Betty Massie (Bob) & Lowell Baker (Ruth) of
Ellington, Mary Albright (Tom,deceased) of Schert , TX; Polly (Alfred) Riggs
of Spring Valley, CA and Bill Baker (Sue) of Bridgeton, MO and many friends.

Donald received Christ as his Savior March 1976 and joined Faith Baptist Church, St. Charles, MO where he remained a faithful member until the
Lord called him home. He taught the Senior Adult Sunday School class for several years and served on different committees. Donald loved the Lord and was always willing to be a witness for Him.

Donald graduated from Ellington High School and during World War II was inducted into the armed forces/air force and was proud to have served his country. After he returned home from the US Service he moved to St. Louis, Mo where he sought employment. He married Imogene Black, October 14, 1949. To this family were born: Dennis Cordell Baker (Joan), Eric Allyn Baker(Valerie) and Dana Lisette Ellard, all of St. Louis County, MO. Seven grandchildren: Justin, Joshua (Renee), Jeffrey, Jenna, Derek & Katy Baker and Meagan Ellard. His family was the joys of his life.

Donald loved to travel and after retirement from McBride Construction Co., he did a lot of traveling. The most awesome of all travels was to the Holy Land
for their 50th anniversary. Walking where His Savior walked, taught and was crucified made his Bible study more meaningful.

Donald was a good, kind, loving husband and loving father, grandfather, brother and friend and will be sadly missed by all that knew him. Don is now home. No more sorrow, no more pain, his mind is clear and his desire is for you to be with him someday in Heaven. Can he depend on you to be there? If you aren't ready to meet Jesus it would be your father, grandfather, brother
and friend's desire that you trust in Jesus today so you can meet him in heaven. John 3:16
