In 1972, the Bakers moved to Eureka Springs, Ark., and established a tourism attraction, The Castle and Museum at Inspiration Point. After 20 years in the tourism business, they sold their business at auction and returned to Enid.
Her husband preceded her in death Feb. 1, 1998.
She was a longtime member of Central Christian Church, a deacon and charter member of the Sooner Sunday School class. The Bakers were part of a nine-member team that went on a two-month, church-sponsored lay mission trip to Venezuela. She was a member of Junior Welfare League, Enid Lioness Club, Gamma Study Club, Enid Fine Arts Club, Daughters of the American Revolution and St. Mary�s Volunteers and an active member of Phillips University organizations. The Bakers sponsored two students to Phillips University from the British Isles. Dr. and Mrs. Baker and Dr. and Mrs. Cecil Williams organized and began Phillips University Science Camp near Monte Vista, Colo., in 1950.
Annella was a homemaker and proud of her family of four sons and their spouses: Vernon, Jr. and Patti of Siloam Springs, Lowell and Holly of Tulsa, James and Carolyn of Aurora, Colo., and Walter and Barbara of Enid; eight grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and a brother and his wife, Dr. James R. Lowell and Laura Belle of Dallas.
The family appreciates the effort of Annella�s caretaker, Catherine Fair.
