Connie Marie Baker's Obituary
Millsboro, DE- Connie Marie Baker, 56, passed away on September 19th, 2025. She was born on June 12,1969 in Media PA, daughter of the late Edward McCaffrey and Doris (Dombrowski) Booth.
Connie was a graduate of Sussex Central High School. Over the years Connie worked in many places throughout lower Delaware, including Suzie’s, Wooding’s Beach Deli, Crab Barn, and Harry Caswell’s Inc. Then she found her calling, working with her State Farm family for the last 14 years. Connie found great joy in helping others.
She shared a deep bond with her siblings, nieces, nephews, and extended family. Connie’s love for them was unwavering, and her presence will be felt at every family gathering for years to come.
A gifted artist, Connie expressed herself through her paintings, which often reflected her moods- from radiant suns and moons to Beaches and Palm trees. She embraced life fully, and her creativity and kindness touched everyone who knew her. A true socialite, Connie loved spending time with her many friends and taking memorable trips to Jamaica. Connie’s life was full of friendships- she had a gift for making friends everywhere she went and never knew a stranger. Her charisma, warmth, and love for people made her a joy to be around.
Above all, her favorite moments were those spent with her beloved son, Eli, listening to music and going to concerts together.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother-in-law, John S. Welsh. Connie is survived by her husband, Paul W. Baker; her cherished son, Eli J Baker; her sisters, Karen Hicks (Butch), Christine Welsh, and Teresa Baker (Justin); her brother, Peter D McCaffrey (Julie); her close family friend, Kelly Nock; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews who will carry her memory in their hearts.
