From her obituary:
Marguerite Lucile (Faivre) Baeke, of Leawood, KS, passed away on October 11, 2004, at Blue River Care Center, Kansas City, MO, following a prolonged illness with Alzheimer's Disease. Mrs. Baeke was born to Adrian and Helena Maude (Rundle) Faivre in Wakefield, KS, on June 18, 1918. She lived most of her earlier life in Clay Center, KS, graduating from Clay Center Community High School in 1936. She received degrees in Music Education and Violin from Bethany College in Lindsborg, KS, in 1940. Many Kansas students have benefited from her wonderful teaching ability in elementary through high school levels for 38 years, teaching in Hanover, Hutchinson, Lawrence, and the Shawnee Mission School District. Marguerite was an accomplished pipe organist, and the principal organist for the Overland Park Presbyterian Church for 40 years. Bringing glorious music to the glory of God was one of her greatest joys. Marguerite was a member of SAI Music Fraternity for Women, having received her 50-year pin and Rose of Honor. She belonged to PEO and Merriam Music Study Club as well as Leawood Women's Club. After retirement, she enjoyed Daughters of the British Empire and the Retired Teacher's Association.
Marguerite married John Oliver Baeke of Clay Center, KS, on September 14, 1947. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at Village Church with a beautiful reception in 1997. They enjoyed an active life together and shared common interests such as concerts, Barbershop singing, traveling and automobile restoration.

Box 8050, Prairie Village, KS 66208.
Marguerite never complained about her disease and always carried herself with dignity. She remained a source of inspiration for all who knew her. We will miss her beautiful smile and glorious music, her creativity and love of fun. But the Faivre sisters are reunited in heaven at last, and the angels are rejoicing to their beautiful violin and piano duets. He hath achieved success who has lived well, whose life was an inspiration and whose memory a benediction.
