Lorene M. Baker was born on May 26, 1939, in Nunnelly, Tennessee, and passed away on March 13, 2021, in Waverly, Tennessee. She was 81 years old. She is the daughter of the late Percy and Lucille Cannon Morgan. She is survived by the love of her life of 64 years, Raymond Baker. Children Marilynn Arnold of Duck River and husband Ronnie, Dianne Baker of Hurricane Mills, David Baker of Centerville, and Melisa Davis of Centerville and husband Carl. Grandson Luke Baker of Lyles. Step Grandchildren Lauren Tankersley of Hohenwald, and Brianna Bullock along with her daughter Bella of Dickson. Sisters Vergie Lawson of Georgia, Mary Fisher of Ohio, Annie Mae Tarkington of Nashville, and Martha Weber of Centerville. Brother Ricky Morgan of Centerville. Along with a host of other relatives, friends, and loved ones. Mrs. Baker, or "Sissy" as she's known by those close to her, felt that her job was first and foremost to be a mom. She devoted her entire life to her four children. She loved them more than life itself. She enjoyed working in the yard, mowing, and keeping flowers. She loved red roses. She always cooked big meals around holidays, and never asked for any help doing it. She loved country music, especially her favorites George Jones, and Marty Stuart. Just a few days ago she watched the Marty Stuart Show on RFD-tv. She was a faithful listener of the Grinders Switch Ensemble every Saturday Morning. She would get mad if she got a phone call during that time because it interrupted her listening. She was not afraid to tell you that she was the boss. She always referred to Marilynn as her beauty queen with a little mean streak. Dianne was her little valedictorian. David, being her only son, had a pretty tight rein on him but held a special place in her heart. Melisa was always her baby girl. Mr. Raymond was simply her best friend. Then came her grandson, Luke, who was her pride and joy. She loved him to no end. She will be dearly missed and may she rest in peace. Graveside services will be held on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, at 1:00 p.m. at the Charles L. Nickell Memorial Park. Gerald Lawson is to officiate services.
