Beatrice "Bea" Baker

Beloved wife and mother, Beatrice “Bea” Baker, 84, passed away July 17, 2019. Bea was a loving caring person who put herself last always. Her loved ones were first and foremost in her thoughts and actions. She will be remembered as a woman with a heart of gold. She brought life and joy to all those who surrounded her. If you ever stopped in to see “Aunt Bea” you knew you would be welcomed with the warmest smile and a hug. You’d be asked  at least fifty times “What can I get you to eat?” and she was always ready to update you on the latest family and community gossip. Bea was a woman who loved her husband and family fiercely. She doted on Dale with loving compassion and devotion. Her grandkids always knew where “Gramma BeaBea’s” candy stash was and BeaBea always knew what candy each one of her many grandkids liked. She was predeceased by her parents, Ivan and Glendora Edwards and brother, Thomas Edwards. Bea is survived by her loving husband of 64 years, Dale, Sr., children; Dale and Bonnie Baker, Jr., Vicki and Chuck Sabin, Les and LuAnn Baker and Tammy and DJ Liberati all of Binghamton, treasured grandchildren; Chad, Brandon and Jen, Brent and Irene, Jesse and Staci, Lori, Lindsay and Danny, Brittany and Wes, Cody and Meaghan, cherished great grandchildren; Stella, Jace, Penelope, Jeremiah, Michelle, Josh, Tyler, Brady, Layla, Rylee, Easton and Lucas. She leaves behind brothers, Bud Edwards, Hallstead, Pa. and Elwyn and Kathy Edwards, Severn, Md. and many nieces and nephews. Bea’s family will receive friends from 3:00 pm until 6:00 pm, Monday, July 22, 2019 at the DeMunn Funeral Home, 36 Conklin Avenue, Binghamton. Funeral services will be private.
