Clarice Virginia Baker
July 29, 1929 - July 27, 2022
Clarice V. Baker passed into
the arms of her Savior on July 27,
2022, just two days before her 93rd
birthday. She was born July 29,
1929, in Heppner to Clarence E.
and Mona Davenport Moore.
She was a fourth-generation
pioneer family in Morrow County.
She attended school in Heppner,
graduating from Heppner High
School in 1947. On Feb. 28, 1947, she married Clarence
E. Baker, and they raised their family of six children in
Heppner.
Clarice was a longtime member of Heppner
Christian Church, where she taught in various Sunday
school departments from preschool to high school, as
well as being a co-leader of the church youth group. She
served several years as church secretary and many years
as chairwoman of the Deaconess group and helped
organize many church functions and activities.
She was a member of Eastern Star and worked with
the Rainbow Girls, where she was a longtime board
member. Clarice was also involved in her children's
activities, being a Blue Bird leader, assisting with Cub
Scouts, 4-H and Little League, as well as volunteering
with many school functions and projects.
She loved her home and family, where she gathered
them all together whenever possible and where three
or four generations enjoyed the many meals she put
together. She enjoyed her large yard and gardens,
crafting, traveling and doing her genealogy, particularly
after she got acquainted with her computer and internet.
She made each of her children large multi-generational
books about both the Baker and Moore families.
Clarice is survived by children, Jan and Stephen
Palmer of Heppner; Stephen and Patti Baker of
Pendleton; William and Vicki Baker of Cloverdale;
Kenneth and Abby Baker of Ooltewah, Tennessee;
and Marti and Kevin Mossman of Pendleton; 13
grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and two great-
great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Clarence;
daughter, Lynda Lewis; granddaughter, Elizabeth Baker;
grandson, Jeffory Rauch; and great-granddaughter,
Kaylionna Beaubien.
A private family burial will be held at a later date.
