Patricia “Prissy” Warr Baker, age 71, of St Simons Island, GA went to be with her Lord and Savior on December 19, 2023.
Prissy had such a vivacious spirit and joyful presence. She had a beautiful gift of making people feel like they were the most important person in the room. She was so well-loved by her husband, Phillip, and they made the sweetest memories together during their 15 years of marriage. She had a passion for helping children and enjoyed her 45 year career as a Speech-Language Pathologist in various schools. She was an active member of First Baptist Church St. Simons Island and loved sitting on the very pews her parents, Pat and Joe Warr, and grandparents, Victoria and Frank Harrison, once sat. She was a member of the Love, Joy, Laughter Sunday School class and felt a huge joy in writing encouraging notes and prayers to others on a weekly basis.
Of all her roles she had in life, she held that of “Pitty Pat” as the most important. Whether it was birthday parties, dance recitals, or sporting events, she was her grandchildren’s biggest fan! She had a knack for making everyday moments into fun, joyful memories.
Prissy was preceded in death by her mother, Patricia Warr, and father, Joe Warr both of St. Simons Island, GA.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Phillip Baker, of St. Simons Island; her daughter, Tricia (Luke) Gunnells; and her two grandchildren, Tricia Cate and Walker Gunnells all of Fairhope, AL. She is also survived by her two brothers, Bill (Susan) Warr of Birmingham, AL and Jim (Lyn) Warr of St. Simons Island, GA.
