Baker, Glenn Wesley

GLENN WESLEY BAKER, age 62 of London, KY died Tuesday, December 3, 2024 from complications of several long-term diseases. He was born in Oneida, KY and always valued the importance of a good education. His passions were kids, Appalachia and his family. His desire to support education led Glenn to attend and graduate from Berea College as a first-generation college student. Glenn began his education career in Lee County, KY where he taught middle school math and helped coach Math Counts, Academics and Tennis. Glenn always strived to improve himself and to give more to help the children of Eastern Kentucky. This steered him to get his training to become a principal. He took his degree to Owsley County, where he served as Elementary School Principal for over a decade. During his tenure as principal, Glenn continued to coach academics, Math Counts, Destination Imagination and to do whatever he could to offer quality educational opportunities and life changing experiences to the children of Owsley County. Glenn was a long time member of the Warrens Chapel Church, where he could sometimes be wrangled into singing and playing his guitar, a service for the Lord that he loved and passed on to his daughter, Kari, who often accompanied him. As Glenn neared his later years in life, he desired to step outside of his elementary background and chose to accept a position working with students at Union College, now known as Union Commonwealth University. In his position there, he helped new students navigate their way through the complicated issues related to being a college student. Glenn became more than a consultant to these students. Many of them would spend their free time just sitting, playing music and talking about anything and everything in their lives. He became a great friend to many students who found themselves far from home and family. Glenn was the son of the late Edward and Rosetta Baker. He was previously deceased by brothers, Gilbert Wayne Baker, William Edward Baker and Gary Warren Baker. Glenn is survived by his sister, Linda (Eddie) Bowling of Booneville, KY. In addition, Glenn is survived by his wife of 31 years, Stella (Fugate) Baker and two children, Keenan Charles Baker of Versailles, KY and Kari (Christian) O’Bryan of Keavy, KY. The true joy of Glenn’s life had to be his two grandchildren, Ronan Blaze O’Bryan, age 4 and Charlie Rayne O’Bryan, age 6 months. Glenn was Ronan’s playmate and fellow architect as they shared construction of dozens of magnet tile structures. Glenn is sure to be loved and remembered by the thousands of young lives that he has touched in his lifetime. Visitation was Sunday, December 8, 2024 from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm at the Owsley County High School Gymnasium, funeral service to follow at 2:00 pm with Pastor, Scotty Brandenburg officiating.

He arrived in Manitoba, Canada with his family in 1935. He began a career as an arc welder while in Canada. He soon felt the call of God to be a minister. He graduated from Hillcrest Christian College in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. He had a strong desire to serve those living in Appalachia but needed to complete his education. He attended and graduated from North Central College, Illinois and then went on to graduate from Naperville Seminary, Naperville, Illinois. While attending seminary, he served as student pastor in Scarboro and Harmon, Illinois. He and the family then moved to Jamestown, Kentucky where he was the pastor at Union Chapel/Manntown Evangelical Churches for six years. His 33 years with the Red Bird Missionary Conference began as pastor on the main campus at Beverly, Ky. for six years. Waldemar, Pauline and family then moved to Booneville, Kentucky. After serving in Booneville for 14 years, they packed their belongings again to serve at the Manchester/Beech Creek churches for eight years. Waldemar retired from the Red Bird Missionary Conference in 1995. Waldemar received a phone call asking if he would be willing to serve as a pastor in Ninilchik, Alaska. Waldemar and Pauline agreed to serve for one year. They packed a few personal items, and sight unseen, ventured to the pristine Alaskan environment. Both Waldemar and Pauline fell in love with the area and the people of Ninilchik and stayed for five years. The desire to be closer to family and the grandchildren brought them back to Kentucky, where they purchased a home in London. Not being able to sit still for very long, Waldemar spent many hours as a volunteer at the Bennett Center of London, a mission institution of the Red Bird Missionary Conference of the United Methodist Church. Waldemar always had a smile on his face; he never knew a stranger. He touched many lives and made many friends with his genuine, caring, friendly manner.

Bowling, Glenn Wesley

BAKER, GLENN WESLEY, age 62 of London, KY died Tuesday, December 3, 2024 from complications of several long-term diseases. He was born in Oneida, KY and always valued the importance of a good education. His passions were kids, Appalachia and his family. His desire to support education led Glenn to attend and graduate from Berea College as a first-generation college student. Glenn began his education career in Lee County, KY where he taught middle school math and helped coach Math Counts, Academics and Tennis. Glenn always strived to improve himself and to give more to help the children of Eastern Kentucky. This steered him to get his training to become a principal. He took his degree to Owsley County, where he served as Elementary School Principal for over a decade. During his tenure as principal, Glenn continued to coach academics, Math Counts, Destination Imagination and to do whatever he could to offer quality educational opportunities and life changing experiences to the children of Owsley County. Glenn was a long time member of the Warrens Chapel Church, where he could sometimes be wrangled into singing and playing his guitar, a service for the Lord that he loved and passed on to his daughter, Kari, who often accompanied him. As Glenn neared his later years in life, he desired to step outside of his elementary background and chose to accept a position working with students at Union College, now known as Union Commonwealth University. In his position there, he helped new students navigate their way through the complicated issues related to being a college student. Glenn became more than a consultant to these students. Many of them would spend their free time just sitting, playing music and talking about anything and everything in their lives. He became a great friend to many students who found themselves far from home and family. Glenn was the son of the late Edward and Rosetta Baker. He was previously deceased by brothers, Gilbert Wayne Baker, William Edward Baker and Gary Warren Baker. Glenn is survived by his sister, Linda (Eddie) Bowling of Booneville, KY. In addition, Glenn is survived by his wife of 31 years, Stella (Fugate) Baker and two children, Keenan Charles Baker of Versailles, KY and Kari (Christian) O’Bryan of Keavy, KY. The true joy of Glenn’s life had to be his two grandchildren, Ronan Blaze O’Bryan, age 4 and Charlie Rayne O’Bryan, age 6 months. Glenn was Ronan’s playmate and fellow architect as they shared construction of dozens of magnet tile structures. Glenn is sure to be loved and remembered by the thousands of young lives that he has touched in his lifetime. Visitation was Sunday, December 8, 2024 from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm at the Owsley County High School Gymnasium, funeral service to follow at 2:00 pm with Pastor, Scotty Brandenburg officiating. Burial will follow at the Allen Cemetery in Clay County, Kentucky. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Berea College in memory of Glenn Baker.

Two years later, they were wed on Christmas eve in a double wedding ceremony with their best friends. Together they had two children, Dr. Jeffrey G Bowman of Upper Arlington Ohio and Donna Cope of Liberty Township Ohio. William is survived by his devoted wife of 63 years, Mabel, and by his children; as well as by his older sister Dicie Gorker of San Jose California, who just turned 90 years old. He was preceded in death by his big brother Robert, his younger sister Donna Cann, and by niece Theresa Cann. William was the loving grandfather to both Donna’s daughter, Sarah Elisabeth; and to Jeff’s son Thomas James. He was the cherished father-in-law to Jeff’s wife, Chona; and to Donna’s husband Curtis. William’s nieces and nephews include his sister Dicie’s children: Glenna, Karla, and Sheryl. His brother Robert’s children: Jamie, Billy Darryl, Ashley, and Hope. And his sister Donna’s children: Micki, Tammy, and Donna Lynn. William retired from General Electric after 32 years. He and his wife Mabel then entered into a second career trading securities in the markets. His interests and hobbies included travel and taking day-trips to various sites of interest, particularly those in Kentucky (until this was cut short by medical limitations). He loved to read and was oftentimes found holding various large-print novels. When sleepy, he would often nap while playing the card game “Hearts” on the computer or with the television news droning on in the background. Sundays in the Bowman home would usually include large country breakfasts served buffet-style followed by one of William’s favorite activities; playing mischievous, humor-filled, love-filled games of Uno with his children, grandchildren, and in-laws. William was a Master Mason (Sharonville Lodge #204) for over 50 years, as had been his father before him. Prior to moving from Booneville, William was a member of the Booneville Baptist Church; where he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior. In Ohio, William was a member of the Heritage Hill Baptist Church in Springdale. Regardless of where William was, he always carried a deep love and affection for his friends and family in Owsley County KY. Until his health made travel difficult, he would try to visit Booneville as often as possible and meet with his “old time” friends and acquaintances across from the courthouse over a cup of coffee in the restaurant across from the courthouse. Throughout his life, he remained an example of “you can take the boy away from the county, but you can never take Owsley County away from the boy’s heart”. Visitation will be held on Saturday, December 23, 2023 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Booneville Funeral Home along with Military Rites and Masonic Rites.

Burch, Versal "Joe"

Dixon, WY – Versal “Joe” Burch died July 24, 2007 at age 84. He was born February 25, 1923, outside Booneville, KY, near Island City, in Owsley County, to Taylor and Lavada (Carmack) Burch. He was one of 10 children to be raised on the family farm. His marriage to Evelyn Gray began on February 4, 1946, after he returned from World War II. Joe and Evelyn relocated to Colorado in the early 1960’s. They have raised five children, 15 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren, all of whom were adored and cherished by their father/grandfather. Joe began ranching in the early 1970’s after purchasing a ranch north of Steamboat Springs. In 1992, they relocated to a ranch near Dixon, Wyoming, just on the Colorado/Wyoming border. Joe truly enjoyed the country life and relished the hard work. Even at 84 years old, he still enjoyed irrigating, taking care of his cattle and overseeing every aspect of the ranch. He truly enjoyed working and could work circles around most men, even those half his age. Throughout the years, many strangers may have knocked on his door, but they never were strangers when they left. They were life-long friends. He was loved by everyone who had the pleasure of his company. He was kind, loving, honest, hard working, generous and compassionate. Joe was made up of all the greatest qualities and had a heart of pure gold. He was a great provider and treasured his wife, Evelyn, of 61 years, and adored his entire family. Joe also loved hunting, fishing, playing cards and marble games and truly loved pranks and jokes. He was funny himself and took great pleasure in making everyone around him smile. He was a small man in stature, but he wasn’t a “small man”. He was a huge man with a huge heart and was a huge part of our lives. He will be greatly missed but will live on forever in the memories held in our hearts. Survivors include his wife, Evelyn; children, Burdetta, Larry, Barbara, Greg and Lori; 15 grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren; sisters, Opal, Jeanette, Beatrice, Wilma, Lola and Marlene; and brothers, Vernon and Leon. It brings great comfort to know he is in a better place with God looking after him and guiding him through Heaven. God must have needed another angel. Memorial services were held at 3:00 p.m., Saturday, July 28, 2007, at the Episcopal Church in Dixon, Wyoming. The burial was at the Savery Cemetery, with a potluck gathering for family and friends immediately following at the Burch Ranch. Everyone was welcome. Booneville Sentinel August 9, 2007.
