Charlotte Marie "Peggy" Staton Baker; born 13 Jul 1922; died 4 Aug 2013; buried here;
no grave marker photo shown; personal photo and obit poated.
"PRINCETON — Charlotte (Peggy) Marie Baker, 91, of Princeton, died Sunday, August 4, 2013, at Princeton Community Hospital surrounded by loving family and friends."Peggy, as she was known by most people, was born July 13, 1922, in Mullens, W.Va., the only daughter of Russell Cunningham and Bertha Webb Staton.
"Following the end of World War II, Peggy and her husband James Edward "Jim" Baker moved to Princeton and started a janitorial business out of their home. As the business grew, they moved the business to the lower end of Mercer Street and over the next 50 years occupied several locations including the present location of Cornerstone Family Church. Following the death of her young husband in 1959, Peggy began the task of operating the business on her own (she would quickly add not alone, but with God) all while raising her daughter Patty and special needs son JimBob.
"In the early 1970s, her daughter Patty and her husband Myron Anderson joined the business as well. After JimBob's death in 1984, Peggy took time to travel with her Christian friends, completing two trips to China. Peggy remained active in the business until the early 1990s when she retired. Shortly after her retirement, her mother Bertha Harmon suffered a stroke and Peggy became her round the clock caregiver until Bertha's death.
"Peggy truly had a servant's heart. She loved the Lord and sought to serve Him through the First Baptist Church working with young people, Women's Missionary Union, Mary Martha Sunday School Class and any other place where she was needed. Her love of flowers was evidenced by her leadership in the West Virginia Greenbrier District Garden Clubs and her leadership in the 1960s and 1970s in the first organized efforts to beautify downtown Princeton.
"In addition to her parents, husband, and son, she was preceded in death by one brother, Jack Warren Staton who was killed in action in 1944 during World War II.
"Peggy is survived by her daughter and caregiver, Patty Anderson and son-in-law Myron Anderson of Princeton; two brothers, Bob Staton of Mullens and Thomas Staton (and wife Pat) of Princeton. She dearly loved her two grandsons, Chris Anderson, who along with his wife Leslie, were also her loving and faithful caregivers this past year, and Robert Anderson, both of Princeton. Another important part of her life over the past months was caregiver Tiara Brown. She is further survived by many, nieces, nephews, and cousins, both near and far away.
"The family will receive guests on Wednesday, August 7, 2013, at 1 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, Mercer Street in Princeton, with Dr. David Dockery officiating. Services will follow at 2 p.m. at the church and burial will be at Sunset Park Cemetery in Beckley...."
