A proud Irish women Eileen worked for many years as a cook at Royal Inland Hospital. She often spoke highly of her time there. Next to her family who she was fiercely protective of and loved dearly Mom also had an enormous soft spot for animals in general and cats in particular. Regardless of where our family lived the Baker home always had a resident cat. The family would like to thank the staff at Overlander Care Facility for the excellent care they provided our Mom. A heartfelt thank you is also extended to Mom and Dad’s long term neighbors Matt & Lori who were always there for them. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Kamloops Wildlife Park on Sunday November 26th, 2017 starting at 11:30 AM. For those who wish to do so donations can be made to one of Mom’s favourite charities; Kamloops SPCA and Salvation Army.
