Roy future date. Jane Irene Baker of Hermiston, Oregon, died on January 18th at the age of 82. She was born on June 9th, 1934, in Chicago, Illi- nois, to parents The- odore and Bernice Jacobson. Jane was an only child but was sur- rounded by many aunts and uncles. The family moved to Ketchikan, Alas- Baker ka, where her fa- ther worked for a salmon canning company as an ac- countant. During WWII the family relocated to Seattle, Washington. At an early age Jane started riding the bus to church and made lifelong friends at church camps. After finishing high school, she decided to at- tend Washington State University where she met Ronald Baker. Just 3½ years later she graduated with a dual major in home economics and science. The two were married at Plymouth Congregational Church in Seattle on June 19th, 1955. The couple moved to Hermiston, Oregon, where Ron worked for Doane’s Agriculture Service and Jane started her teaching career at Stanfield High School. Since Jane was still very young the princi- pal requested that she wear high-heel shoes to help dif- ferentiate herself from the students. “Farm Women On The Go” read the title from the national publication Farm Wife News in July 1972. Not a big surprise to those that knew her but a huge compliment to this city- bred now country girl. Jane was always involved in something from being a 4-H leader, Sunday school teacher, PEO member, sub- stitute teacher, teaching cooking classes, mother of 5, wife and woman of faith — she always seemed to be on the go. Both Ron and Jane are founding members of Hermiston Christian Cen- ter where in 1979 Jane be- SAFETY LOG TUESDAY, JAN. 31 12:06 a.m. - A caller thought he witnessed a break-in at a shed next to the sushi restaurant on North 1st Street, Hermiston. 6:36 a.m. - A caller said someone threatened him with a stick at Main Street Laundry, East Main Street, Hermiston. 9:22 a.m. - Officers responded to a suicidal subject at Big Smoke, LLC on South Highway 395, Hermiston. 1:42 p.m. - A caller reported that a woman was attacking her mother and pulling her hair, at West Sunland Avenue, Hermiston.
