Services will be held at a later date for former Big Pine resident Irma Baker Garner. Private cremation was held at Eternal Hills Crematory in Klamath Falls, Ore. A private burial was held at Eternal Hills Memorial Gardens in Klamath Falls.
Born on Jan. 26, 1915 on the Baker Ranch in Big Pine, to George and Mary Heinz Baker, Irma died Tuesday, Feb. 9 in Klamath Falls. She was 95.
Irma graduated from Big Pine High School as valedictorian in 1932. Her family sold the Baker Ranch and moved to Fontana, where she attended Chaffee Junior Collage and Pomona College. In 1945 Irma was hired as secretary to the dean of men and women at Fullerton Junior College. A position she held until her retirement in 1971. She moved with her husband, Denver, to the Agency Lake, Ore. area in 1976.
Irma was a well known photographer. Her photos accompanied her husband's many hunting and dog training articles.
At the age of six months she traveled to the Baker Ranch high country summer range by way of pack mule; the first of many trips with her father, George Baker.
At the age of five she named Thunder and Lighting lakes in the High Sierra.
Irma was an exceptional pianist. At the age of 12 she made $3 every Friday evening playing the piano for the silent move theater. She said many times how fortunate she was to be raised in the beautiful rough rugged Sierra and spent her later years in the beautiful smooth flowing Cascades. Irma was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Denver.
She is survived by her stepsons, and daughter-in-Law, Richard Garner and John and Nancy Garner; and four grandchildren.
