The world became a little dimmer on May 13, 2026, when Patricia Ann “Patty” Faucher Baker left us. She was the heart of our family, steady, loving, and endlessly giving. Born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin on March 14, 1937, she grew into a woman who lived with purpose and grace.
Patty is preceded in death by her parents, Francis Joseph “Frank” Faucher and Virginia “Ginny” Evylan Smithers-Faucher, her brother James “Jim” Francis Faucher and daughter, Barbara Baker.
Survivors include her loving husband of 68 years, Claborn “Bud” Baker, Jr.; sons, Alan Baker and wife Danette, Kevin Baker and wife Missy Baker; daughter, Lisa Baker Reaves and husband John; grandchildren, Carson Baker and wife Allie, Dalton Baker and wife Desiree, Andrea Fowner and husband Carl, Michael Woehler and wife Brookelynn, Cory Knight and Amber White, Joshua Baker, Jeremiah Baker, Derek Baker, Kody Baker, Logan Baker, Kayla Klabunde, and Kyle Klabunde; numerous great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other loving family members and a host of friends.
She had a gift for making people feel seen. Whether through a warm meal, a thoughtful phone call, or her ability to listen without judgment, she made life better for everyone around her. She loved travelling, camping/glamping, dancing, boating, fishing, swimming, theatre and a good movie. She was a lover of animals, cherished spending time with family especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, and believed deeply in family and our Lord and Savior.
Her greatest joy was her family. She poured her whole heart into raising her children and supporting her loved ones, and her legacy lives on in the people she shaped with her love.
We will gather to celebrate her life on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 2:00 p.m.-5:00p.m. at the American Legion H U Wood Post 245, 618 East Kingsbury Street, Seguin, TX, 78155.
We will miss her every day, but we are grateful for every moment we had.
