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-
