She was born in Nassau Bay, Texas on July 6, 1998, to Lea and Ryan Baker.
Victoria was preceded in death by her great grandfathers: James H. Powell, Sr., William B. Baker Sr., and Mulloy M. King. Her great grandmother Pearl Ruth King. Her grandfather Charles Roland Putnam, her uncle James H. Powell, Jr.
She is survived by her parents, Lea and Ryan Baker, her brother, Ryan Baker II, her great-grandmothers Audrey Baker, and Janet Powell, grandmothers (Mimi) Jane Putnam, and (Grammy) Lauri Baker, her grandfather (Papa) William Baker, Jr., her uncles Eric Putnam (Heather), Leif Putnam (Kelly), Mark Putnam (Kristin), Daniel Baker (Julianne), her aunt Jennifer Copeland (Kevin), cousins Lauren, William, Elijah, Jacob, Meghan, Marissa, Blake, Harley, Jason, Landon, Gabriella, Mickenzy, Dane, and Morgan.
Victoria was skilled in so many ways and had a great variety of jobs in her short life. At the age of 18 she was batching concrete for a Baycrete Ready-mix concrete company. She had an entrepreneurial spirit just like her parents. She was a top salesperson at Buckle’s women’s western clothing store. I think she could even sell ice to the Eskimos. She could mow your lawn, build and stain your fence, paint your house inside and out and having recently passed her real estate license courses, she could sell your property whenever you were ready. She was to begin a new adventure working with tractors and heavy equipment for Mustang/Caterpillar the week following her passing. There was no job or task that was too small are too big for her.
She had a selfless passion for life, not just the lives of close family and friends, but for anything and everything. If she came across someone in need, she would help provide for them to the detriment of herself. If she came across a lost or stray animal, particularly dogs and cats, she would nurture them back to health and help find a home for them. All too often that home would be her own. She would even take the stressed flowering plants of others and make them bloom again, particularly orchids. She was the sunshine after the rain, she was the cool evening breeze after a hot summer day, she would bring you joy when you were sad, and bring you hope when you felt hopeless. May God bless her precious soul. She will be sorely missed by all.
