Marian Annette Baker
Marian Tsubota Baker lost her valiant battle with ovarian cancer on June 14, 2009. She is survived by her husband, Dr. Michael Baker, her children Philip, Jacob, Aaron, and Joy, who kept vigil at her bedside. She was preceded in death by her daughter Paula.
Marian is the daughter of Ruth and Masao Tsubota of Walnut Creek, CA. Her large extended family includes siblings John and Valerie Tsubota, David and Stephanie Tsubota, Naomi Sakata, Steve and Masako Longley, Laura and Robert Maneggio, Karen and Carl Groot, Janice and Michael Jensen, and numerous loving uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, and nieces.
Marian was a graduate of Pleasant Hill High School, and received her bachelor’s degree as a Registered Nurse from California State University at Humboldt. She worked at Pacific Presbyterian in San Francisco, then as an ICU nurse at Contra Costa County Hospital in Martinez where she met her future husband, Michael.
Marian was a champion for those in need, and worked tirelessly for the Older Adults Center and the Contra Costa Crisis Center. Even while undergoing chemotherapy, her care for others led her to get new items for the John Muir Medical Center Children’s Oncology unit.
She will be missed by her family, her many friends, and the community for which she did so much.
"Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever." Psalm 23:6
