It is with sad hearts were share that Theresa (Nanny B) Baker, lost her battle with cancer, however she won the war by peaceful going out on her own terms, surrounded by the love and presence of her cherished family in her home on May 27th, 2024.  She was a pillar of strength and resilience, facing life's greatest challenges with the same unwavering determination that defined her existence. We take solace knowing she is now back with the love of her life Stephen (Stubby) MacNeil who predeceased her in 2013.

Throughout her courageous fight, Theresa approached each day with the fierce independence. She refused to be defined by her illness, instead choosing to embrace each moment with love and an unyielding resolve. Theresa shared an unshakable bond with her daughter, who was not only her daughter but also her closest confidante and best friend. She knew if she needed anything Rosie would drop everything and run to her side.

Nanny B, a woman who was tough as nails yet with a heart of gold, lived her life with an unwavering determination and no-nonsense attitude, she fearlessly tackled every obstacle in her path. Yet, amidst her strength, Theresa's love for her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great, great grandson shone brightly, filling their lives with warmth and joy.
