Peachland - Marion Sampson Baker went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Wednesday morning 5/30/18 after an 18-year battle with cancer. He was a US Army veteran and took great pride in his country. An avid gardener who loved being outdoors. But above all else, he was a Godly, family man who provided, loved, and cherished the time he spent with his family. He was preceded in death by his parents Thomas and Eva Baker, sister Nezzie Stroud.
