Evelyn Baker was the epitome of a Southern "lady". She was gracious, giving, and always greeted everyone with a beautiful smile. I cannot visualize her without that smile! I was glad to have known her.

Evelyn was my sweet friend and partner musician that I admired and respected for years at First Christian Church.
She taught me so much about music and was a beautiful lady inside and out.
She lived a Christian life everyday. My sympathy is extended to Jacque, Bentley, and Nancy and her family.
I know her organ music continues in Heaven. Hallelujah!
