Claudine F. (Chub) Baker, 102, of Hanover, PA entered peacefully into God’s care,
Thursday, June 1, 2017 at the Brethren Home, New Oxford, PA.
Born March 9, 1915 in McSherrystown, PA, she was the daughter of the late Claude F.
and Grace (Lawrence) Wagaman. She was the loving wife of the late Walter C. Baker
for fifty-six years.
Chub graduated from Central High School, McSherrystown, PA in 1933. She was the
co-owner of Baker’s Dress Shop on Broadway in Hanover, PA from 1947 until 1984.
Chub is survived by her children, Anne L.(Beezy Baker) Zeigler and husband Glenn,
Robin C. (Baker) Cornette and husband Richard and Robert C. Baker and wife Cherie;
six grandchildren, Benjamin Baker, Brittany Cornette, Laura Cornette, Scott Zeigler,
Shawn Zeigler and Jennifer Richard; four great-grandchildren, Carley Richard, Taylan
Zeigler, Samuel Zeigler and Aaron Zeigler. She was preceded in death by her
grandson Jason Baker and her siblings, Jeanne Albright, Edith Rice, Donald Wagaman,
Raymond Wagaman, Louise Wentz, Thomas Wagaman, Francis Wagaman and Robert
Wagaman.
Chub deeply loved her family and friends and had a wonderful, kind soul. She
enjoyed gardening, music, cooking, and traveling and had a passion for fashion and
interior design. She had a zany sense of humor and enjoyed showing it at every
opportunity to brighten the lives of those around her. When times were difficult, she
always managed to display a quiet strength. Never one to complain, she inevitably
looked to the future rather than the past.
Following cremation, a memorial service to celebrate and remember Chub's life will
be held 10:00 AM, Friday, June 23, 2017 at the Kenworthy Funeral Home, Inc., 269
Frederick Street, Hanover, PA. A private burial ceremony for the family will follow in
