Charmaine Judy Baker (nee Mang)
July 8th, 2022
It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn Charmaine’s passing on July 8, 2022 after a courageous battle with cancer.
She was predeceased by her parents Clarence and Gladys Mang; father and mother-in-law James and Margaret Baker and brother-in-law Wilf Kirstein.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband of 45 years Glen; brothers Garth, Myles and Jeff (Yolanda) Mang; sister Pam Kirstein (John Penner); brothers and sisters-in-law Doug (Jan) and Ken (Joanne) Baker; numerous nephews and nieces; and special companion Bailey.
A quiet caring soul, she could always see the best in everyone and everything. To many, she was a dear friend and to some a special angel.
Forever in our hearts we leave her now in God’s care.
At Charmaine’s request, there will be no service. Memorial donations may be made in her name to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Regina Marion Centre.
The family wishes to send a special thanks to the staff at Regina Pasqua Hospital Unit 3A and Wascana Grace Hospice for their special care and compassion.Messages:
Glen, Garth, Myles, Jeff, Pam, Doug, Ken: Only recently upon our arrival back in Canada had we learned of Charmaine’s passing. Lorraine and I would like to express our deepest condolences to not only the Mang family but to the Baker family and all who knew her. Ever since our middle teens I’ve known Charmaine through Glen. And throughout those decades, our friendship has been steadfast. I cherish that friendship. I first met her when she was on a date with a friend of ours in the basement of another friend’s home. I noticed that she had eyes for Glen and not for her date. Throughout the following years, as we gathered over a pint or two, we discussed the many topics and problems of the day, solving none but with much laughter. Fond memories were made that would last a lifetime. Charmaine had a kindness that drew you in to her world, a gentle laughter that will always be remembered and a genuine smile that was shared often. For all that knew her, our world today is a little heavier without her. And a little lighter that her suffering is over. She is now flying free with the angels, soaring wherever she wants. Till we meet again, Chuck. Forever remembered, sadly missed. Lorraine & Dwight Sharpe Vancouver, BC

Dear Glen, Pam, Garth, Myles, Jeff and your families. Charmaine and I met in high school and she was always a gentle, caring, kind and loving soul. Charmaine would do anything to help anyone and gave everything to all she did. She had a great sense of humour and she lit up a room with her smile. My heart hurts for all of her family and friends as she will be missed. She was a very special person. I pray that God gives you strength in your loss. Charmaine had a life well lived but she was taken too soon. Blessings to you all. Linda
