Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Louise Ann Baker (Née Meder), 66, of Independence, MO, passed away on July 4th, 2025.
Louise was born August 9th, 1958 in Kansas City, MO, the daughter of Vincent and Helen Meder (Née Lape).
Louise especially loved gardening, doing puzzles, and anything crafty. Her favorite thing was to spend time with her family, as well as photographing those she loved. Louise was fiercely loving, caring, joyful, and hilarious. Everyone who met her loved her; they had no other choice.
Preceding Louise in death are son, Jessie Baker Sr.; and parents, Helen and Vincent Meder.
Remaining to cherish Louise’s memory are son, Daniel; daughter-in-law, Amber; grandchildren, Kryslyn, Madilyn, Kyle, Ben, Serena and Jessie; brothers, Dan (Dee) and John (Carla); sister, Debbie (Sonny); nephews, Gary (Vicki), Joe (Melissa) and Bill (Brandi), and many other beloved friends and family members. She will be deeply missed, and all who love her will carry her in our hearts.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, July 14, 2025, from 10am – 12pm at Heartland Cremation & Burial Society, Raytown MO.
I shared a tent with Louise on a float trip. She was so much fun. We shared our fear of falling off the cots we were sleeping on, bugs, the heat and what snacks we had handy. I don’t have a sister, but this girl time was so fun and memorable. I will miss her smile and laughter.
In Loving Memory of Aunt Louise Baker – July 4, 2025
I don’t even know how to put this into words, but I’m going to try… because Aunt Louise deserves that, and so much more.
On July 4th, 2025 a day that’s supposed to be filled with fireworks and celebration we lost one of the brightest lights in our lives. My beautiful, strong, compassionate Aunt Louise took her final breath, and with it, left an ache in our hearts that words can’t fully describe.
Aunt Louise gave without expecting anything in return. The world feels different now less colorful, less kind, less warm. But I know Aunt Louise would want us to carry on with grace. She’d want us to laugh again. She’d want us to love each other better. And most of all, she’d want us to live fiercely, and without regret.
So today, even though the sky is lit with fireworks, my heart is lit with memories.
I love you, Aunt Louise. I always will. And I will carry your light with me, wherever I go.
Rest easy. We’ll take it from here. 💔
May the force be with you Weedle

I worked with Louise at Farmers Insurance. Louise was such a special lady. Her smile would brighten anyone’s day. She could be having a bad day but you would never know it. She made everyone feel like family. I know she is going to be missed dearly by her family and friends.
Fly high with the angels Louise!
Louise was many thing to me. I saw a poem that was just perfect
Sister by Blood
Best Friend by Choice
Guardian Angel by Gods design
Louise is my Sister by Blood
Louise is my Best Friend by Choice
and Louise is now my Guardian Angel by Gods design
One of the many things she tought me was if I was ever Mad or Sad she would say
“Now lets look at it on the other hand (or side) and she was usally right!
I will miss her and Love her until I no longer exist here on earth.
See you in Heaven Louie
