Tammie Baker

Tammie Lynn Baker, formerly of Columbia Falls, was welcomed to heaven on March 20, 2014. as a result of a victim of crime. 

Tammie was born in Whitefish on Sept. 30, 1970 to Don and Paula Baker. She was raised in Columbia Falls and for a short time, California. 

She attended school in Kila and Columbia Falls. Shortly thereafter, she moved to California where she met Rick Langton. Rick and Tammie had three children together, Ricky, Eric and Tyler Langton. 

Soon after Tammie was born, her parents moved with her to Windsor, Calif. to live on her grandfather’s horse ranch. Tammie’s knack for taking care of animals took flight, and her compassion blossomed into caring for other people.

In her teenage years, she took care of her Great Grandma Rose during her courageous battle with cancer. While raising her boys, she operated a home daycare where children enjoyed going to “Auntie’s” house. Tammie received her angel wings as a guardian for the sick. 

She was preceded in death by her father Don Baker, Grandma and Grandpa Rae and Kenny Downen, and Grandma Anita Baker.

She is survived by her mother and stepfather, Paula and Wally Bennett; sisters Jodie Green and Melissa Livingston; children Ricky, Eric and Tyler Langton and their respective families; grandfather Bob Baker, of California; along with numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. 

Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at the Columbia Falls Mortuary, in Columbia Falls, on Saturday April 12, at 3 p.m. The family welcomes everyone to share a memory on a balloon which will be released at the end of the service. A potluck style reception will follow at the TeakettleCommunity Hall, 235 Nucleus Avenue, in Columbia Falls.
