Ms. Peggy was born February 5, 1945, to Woodrow Kemp and Joyce Whitehead Kemp. She was a member of First Baptist Church, and she was the owner of Baker Ready Mix for 37 years. Peggy loved gardening and thoroughly enjoyed her beautiful flowers; and she also loved to fish.

She is also survived by her sister, Virginia Sullivan of Starkville, Mississippi; as well as her sisters-in-law, Peggy McDowell and Glenda Kemp both of Louisville.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Robert C. “Billy” Baker; her parents; and her brothers, Paul W. “Sonny” Kemp and Jimmy R. “Winkey” Kemp.
