A family graveside service for Virginia “Bebe” Levi Baker, 85, of Killeen, will be held Tuesday, February 21, at 10 a.m. with her nephew, Les Baker, officiating. Mrs. Baker died Friday, February 17, 2017. She was born in Edgewood, Maryland on December 27, 1931 to Irvine W. Levi and Virginia “Ginney” Levi.

After retirement, she enjoyed her work as a volunteer at Metroplex Hospital.
