Obituary of Betty Jean Baird

Betty Jean Noble Baird joined her Lord Jesus in Heaven at 9:20 am on Sun, Sept. 4, 2016. The family will be hosting a Celebration of Life for Betty for anyone who knew her at John Knox Presbyterian Church in Speedway on Sat. Sept. 10th at 1pm. Betty had the heart of a servant and loved to feed people, so after the service, the family would like to invite everyone for a meal and time of sharing in fellowship hall. Since this is a joyful celebration of Betty passing into a new life, with a new body, and a reunion with those she loved, please wear something joyful. Betty has been greatly interested in the lives of her family. She was born to Nellie (Roby) and James Noble. Betty was married to the love of her life, James W. Baird, for 54 years, who is with her in Heaven now. Betty is survived by Nancy (Steve) Huckaba of Mattoon, Il; David (Sue) Baird of Anderson, IN and Bruce Baird of Euless, Texas. Betty had 6 grandchildren: Chris (Julia) Huckaba of Indy, Ben (Jennifer) of Brownsburg, IN, Megan (Scott) Barber of Urbana, IL, Melissa Flick of Fishers, IN, Kevin (Mehgan) Baird of Anderson, IN and Mary Mountain of Martinsville, IN. Great grandchildren include Grace, Eli, and Hannah Huckaba, Asher and Owen Flick, and Bentley and Betsy Baird. Betty worked as a secretary for Frigidaire Division of GMC (where she met Jim), John Knox Church for 16 yrs. and State Headquarter of Dept. Of Agriculture's Farmer's Home Administration for 10 yrs. Betty found belonging to John Knox United Church was a source of great joy, friendships, memories, and adventures. She served in many capacities at the church, but her greatest joy was being a member of the choir. A few of the fun activities that Betty was also involved include the GM camping club, AAA, AARP, singing at the local nursing home, Girl Scout Cookie Chairman, regular blood donor, traveling to Ft Myers Beach for 16 years with Nancy's family. The list goes on. The family welcomes a memorial donation to John Knox to the "Betty Baird Memorial Fund" John Knox Church, 3000 N. High School Rd., Indy, IN 46224.
