Nicole Baker Obituary

Nicole Lee Baker 37, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, January 22, 2022, with her family and Harbor House Hospice at her side. Nicole was born on "the April the 20 the 7th", 1984, to Debra Wilkerson (Baker) and Robert Shomin in Lawrence. Nicole was loved by everyone who ever met her, you'd always leave with a story of something funny or crazy that she did with you. Nicole was a light in even the darkest times. She will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have known her. Nicole always spoke her mind, with no filter, but always out of love.

Nicole is survived by her 14-year-old daughter Malia Baker (aka, baby girl), Malia's father Lamont Ealey and grandparents Linda & Jerry Ealey, her Mom & Dad, Debbie & Wallace Wilkerson, her father Robert Shomin, uncle Charles Baker, siblings Halli (Michael) Bussell, Paige (Tyler) McCurry, Jennifer Rummel, Curtus Wilkerson, Angela (Johnie) Evans, Lisa Wilkerson, Wesley Wilkerson, Tiffany (Nick) Scott, Ashley (Eddie) McGlinn, goddaughter Taja Brubaker, 4 nieces, 4 nephews, cousins Christina (Dave) O'Trimble, Russell (Heather) Baker. Nicole is now at peace, joining her Grandma Joan. No words could ever express the love we have for our new family Harbor House.

A celebration of life will be announced at a different time, on the Updates on Nicole Baker website.

I had already entered a message last year and cannot believe it's already been a year since Nicole left this earth. Weirdly enough, it was just 2 days ago that I discovered some old photos of family and kid stuff....and there was a photo of Nicole in about 4th or 5th grade in a school program!! And then I saw the email that was celebrating this anniversary!!

I'm so very sorry to read about Nicole's passing. My daughter went to school with her beginning at Sunset. Nicole was one of my Girl Scouts as well, so I was able to get to know her a bit more in that way. So sassy and full of energy....and as the obit says, she didn't hesitate to tell you what was on her mind! And that was when she was very young, so it must have been a strong and yet perfect trait for her. She will be missed and I can only give you prayers and positive thoughts for healing. Share her memories with her daughter and give her so many hugs. Take care of each other, Michele Johnson (Rychel's Mom)
