Patricia Ann Baker, 83, the daughter of Ralph and Esther James, died June 14, 2010. Patricia was a talented playwright, composer and pianist, a loving mother and sister.

Their two children are Todd Clayton, Parsons, KS, and Holly Lynn, Tucson, AZ.
She nurtured her talents by forming a playwriting group, Playwrights and Players, to give fledging writers and actors opportunities to write and stage plays. It was one of the great accomplishments of her varied career. Her most recent effort in music was to write a cantata.
Other survivors are her brother Roger F. James, and her loving sister-in-law Joan, nephews Andy (Laura) and Evan James (Joanie), and niece Karen McHugh (Kevin). She was Great Aunt to eight who will miss her humorous remembrances.
