Cheryl Baker of Deltona, Florida passed away on August 9, 2026 at the age of 70. She was born in Columbus, Ohio where she grew up with her mother, father and three siblings. She married the late Richard Ozley, gaining a son, and then having two more children. Some years after their divorce she married the late Jean Baker where she gained another son and daughter.
