Ryuko T. Baker

Ryuko Tsujimura Baker, 94, of El Paso, passed away April 9, 2016, peacefully in her home, surrounded by family. “Duke” was born in Vancouver, Canada. She was a homemaker who loved to cook for her family and eventually for her pet dachshund, Bella.

She is survived by her two sons Frank Baker (Hanna) & Thomas Baker (Cristy); her four grandchildren Sarah Peña Heller (Marcos), Meagan Heller, Lindsay Baker, Joshua Baker; and her great-grandson Jackson. She is also survived by her two sisters Reiko Meagher and Tsune Suenaga (Jim). Committal Service will be held at Fort Bliss National Cemetery, April 18, 2016 at 1:00PM.
