Eileen (Jenkins) Baker, 88, of Granville, Ohio, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2026.

She was born on June 26, 1937, in Roscoe Village, Ohio, to Ernest Gayle and Mildred Alice (Hardesty) Jenkins. She was raised in the Coshocton community and graduated from Coshocton High School in 1955.On December 27, 1997, she married the love of her life, Milton A. Baker. Together they shared 28 years of marriage marked by deep love, abiding faith, laughter, and steadfast devotion. Their home was known as a place of warmth, hospitality, and genuine care for others.

Eileen was a devoted mother to her daughters, Julie Ann Stinson, and Joni Ellen Loyd, who will forever cherish her example of faith and love. She found immense joy in her grandchildren and treasured her role as “Mimi.” Every moment spent with them was dear to her, and she leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue for generations.

She expressed her love for others in simple but meaningful ways—often through baking pies, cakes, and cookies to share. She also had a gift for growing flowers and plants, which gave her great joy. Above all, she had a remarkable ability to make others feel seen, valued, and deeply cared for.
