Pamela Baker

Pamela Leigh Baker, 79, of College Station, passed away August 3, 2022.

A thoughtful and compassionate woman, Pamela will be remembered by her example of showing others how to be kind, caring, and patient.

Pamela grew up in the west end of Louisville, Kentucky. She received a Bachelor’s degree from Western Kentucky University, graduating cum laude. During her college years, she was an actress with the Western Kentucky Players. After university, she worked as a social worker, and later for an insurance company. She met her first husband, Frank Shipman Jr., at university and although they later divorced, they remained good friends.

Pamela was passionate about researching family history and the connections within the family. She often took photographs of family to create new family albums. She enjoyed talking with friends and family, taking care of her cats, and reminiscing about going to the beach in St. Martin.

Pamela was preceded in death by her parents, Charles Russell Baker and Mary Everhart Baker; first husband, Frank Shipman Jr.; aunts, Mil, Jo, and Louise; and her beloved family cats, Jeffrey, Spike, Buffy, Bean, Pippi, and Waylon.

Her memory will be cherished by her son, Frank Shipman III and wife, Tamra; and her grandson, Connor F. Shipman.
