Jean Ann Baker, Ph.D.
Jean Ann Baker left this world peacefully on January 10, 2008, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Jean was born February 18, 1958, in Northampton, Mass., to The Rev Jack M. and Frances Arnold Baker. She was a highly successful lifelong learner, attending Northfield Mount Hermon School, Barnard College (Columbia University), The University of Chicago, and The University of Wisconsin–Madison for her PhD in Educational Psychology in 1992. Her scholarly career included positions at The University of Georgia and The Michigan State University. She will be deeply missed by the organizations in which she served as a leader, as well as by the students and colleagues who valued and loved her.
As illustrious as her professional life was, Jean valued most her family and friends. She leaves her loving husband Watts Rozell, and her children Elizabeth and Charles, all of Okemos, Mich., and her sister, Trudy Dintzner.
Jean’s life was filled with good food, good wine, travel, the arts, the outdoors, her cats and dogs, laughter, music, books, heartfelt conversation, and adventurous living. She had especially fond memories of Bement Center Camp in Charlton, Mass.
A memorial service will be held on January 26th , at 11:00, at All Saints Episcopal Church in East Lansing, officiated by The Rev. Kit Carlson. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Elizabeth and Charles Baker-Rozell College Fund, MSUFCU 600 E Crescent Rd East Lansing, MI 48823.
