Obituary for Burney Baker
Mr. Burney Baker was born on March 15, 1924 in Nashville, Georgia to the late Molden and Eliza Baker.

Baker enjoyed spending time with family and friends, but most of all he was a faithful member of Word Vine Christian Fellowship, Inc. Mr. Baker lived life for 91 wonderful years. No matter what happened in life, “He would say pray, and don’t worry”.
On December 10, 1979, Baker married the love of his life, Bessie M. Godfrey. Their love blossomed for 35 wonderful years and the love still remains.
