Lynne Baker

Lynne Olds Baker, 77 of Ransomville went to be with her heavenly father on Sunday December 20, 2009 at Mt. St. Mary's Hospital, surrounded by her children. She was the daughter of the late Henry and Marie (Bennett) Reubens. Lynne was raised in Sanborn and attended local schools. She spent most of her life working on the family fruit and dairy farm, Rock Terrace Farm, in Cambria with her husband Gene. She also worked for many years at H.A. Treichler & Sons greenhouses in Sanborn. She was a founding member of the Pekin Vol. Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary and a member of the Niagara County Farm Bureau. Lynne loved life; she loved to work hard, loved her gardens and enjoyed golfing and traveling but most of all she enjoyed her time spent with her family. She will be deeply missed.
