Kathie Lee Baker

April 8, 1962 — September 22, 2024

Kathie Lee Baker was born in Payson Utah on April 8th, 1962. She lived a beautiful, full life until September 22nd, 2024, when she passed away as a result of a stroke that took place on September 19. Her three daughters, Megan, Misty, and Miranda were blessed to be by her side and her fourth daughter, McKayla excitedly awaited her arrival in heaven.

Kathie was born to Melba Maude Rose Cameron and Jay DuWayne Cameron They gave her and her four older siblings, Vickie Butler, Carrie Morrison Cameron, Julie Cox, and Max Cameron, her brother who is with us today, a cherished childhood in Payson where she graduated high school in 1980. Shortly after she married her high school sweetheart, Jon Daniels, in 1981. With him, she had her first three beautiful daughters, Megan Mattingly, Misty Burks-Daniels, and Miranda Bowers. She loved being a mother and later on, heavily enjoyed being a grandmother to her 11 grandkids. She loved to spoil them with random gifts she saw at Dollar Tree, tons of candy or chocolate creamies. She moved mountains for each and every one of them! She was a beam of sunshine in their everyday lives and always reminded them to pray. In 1998 she divorced Jon but continued to be friends and stay close to her daughters. In April 2007 she married the love of her life, Dave Baker, who gave her a space to grow with and love her daughters. With Dave she had her fourth daughter, McKayla Faith Baker, on January 4th, 2002. She only lived a few minutes, but in those minutes, Kathie made sure she knew she was loved and she’d spent the past 22 years remembering and cherishing her. We all know McKayla was the very first in a long line to hug Kathie when she got to heaven. 

Kathie spent the later part of her life with Dave in Torrey Utah where she loved exploring the outdoors. Every time she was outside, she found a new rock she thought was cool which she filled her garden with. She took care of her garden every day, it’s filled with flowers and food that she loves to share. She loved Wayne County with its red dirt, and the gorgeous stars in the sky at night. Now she gets to rest under the most beautiful sky with fluffy clouds, colorful rainbows, tons of flowers, butterflies, and singing blue jays, while her spirit continues its beautiful journey in the next life.

Kathie is survived by her devoted husband, David Baker of Torrey; her children, Josh and Megan Mattingly of Loa, Brenden and Misty Burks-Daniels of Orem, Brenon and Miranda Bowers of Payson; her brother: Max and Kim Cameron of Payson.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her daughter McKayla Faith Baker, and her sisters Vickie Butler, Carrie Morrison Cameron, and Julie Cox.
