Anne was born in Bridgwater, Somerset, England, to Reginald Seward Henry Baker and Sheila Marie Baker on the 19th of April, 1952. She was raised on her family farm in the village of Chilton Polden and attended school at Bridgwater Grammar School.

In 2000, Anne became a licensed California Realtor and enjoyed a fulfilling career as a real estate agent.
Anne was a loving and compassionate wife and mother of two boys. She loved the quiet peace found in the outdoors, and enjoyed gardening and bee keeping at home. She had a gift for caring about others and all creatures, rescuing and loving many dogs over the years.

She is survived by her loving husband, Paul, her sons Mark and Andrew, their spouses Tara and Sabrina, her mother Sheila Baker, her brothers Peter and Geoffrey Baker, her sister Margaret, and her grandchildren, Grant and Lyla.
As an expression of sympathy, in lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made in Anne’s memory to the Kidney Cancer Association, the Alzheimer’s Association, or The Marine Mammal Center.
