Kristine Virginia Baker

Kristine Virginia Baker passed away peacefully while listening to her favorite Disney songs being played by Laura from the Cleveland Clinic Music Therapy Unit along with her aunt Mary Jane by her side.

Kristine or "Princess" as she was referred to was born to David and Serene Baker on August, 23, 1990 in Kettering, Ohio. She is survived by her aunt, Mary Jane and Uncle Dannie Fueston, whom she lived with during her transplant journey; Mother and Father, David A. and Serene Baker; brother, Anthony Baker; grandmothers Juanita Baker, Pat Abney, and Stephanie Kitzerow; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members.

She was preceded in death by grandfathers, Robert L. Baker, Kenneth Abney, Claude Kitzerow, and aunt Serette Poppe.

Kristine graduated from Springboro High School and Butler Tech in 2009. She was a member of the National Technical Honor Society. She obtained her associate degree in Medical Coding from Sinclair Community College. Kristine pursued her career as a Medical Coder with HRAA until her transplant journey began in 2019. She was an honorary member of the Ohio Blue Knights XXIX.

Kristine was given an amazing gift of double lungs in October of 2019 from a family willing to have their loved one live on through donation of life. Kristine enjoyed life through through swimming, Disney, and Amusement Parks, and riding motorcycles with her uncle and the Blue Knights. Kristine loved her chug "Bella" who was always by her side. She helped many by donating to Toys for Tots, and the Food Pantry of Springboro.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Kristine's name to Transplant House of Cleveland. www.transplanthouseofcleveland.org
