Mrs. B's Bio

I was born in Reading (yes, we are the Reading Railroad on the Monopoly board), Pennsylvania (near Philadelphia). I have been living in Cleveland, Tennessee for over 20 years. We moved to Charleston, TN.


I direct High Praises (children's choir) and assist with the Student Choir (middle school and high school students) & Student Ensemble (an audition group) at Westmore Church of God in Cleveland, Tennessee.  I sing in the Adult Sanctuary Choir.  
I have been married for over 25 years to Dennis Baker who is also a music teacher. We have a daughter, Vabby and a son, Will.  Vabby is a sophomore at Lee University studying biochemistry, and Will is a senior at Walker Valley High School and plays the trumpet in the band.


My 16 year old dog named Guenevere passed away a few summers ago...she was my baby before having Vabby and Will, and sadly my 18 year old cat named Gigue passed away the day after my grandmother passed a couple of years ago. We have a dog named Bella Sonata now, as well as two new cats: Majestic Midnight and Moonlight Sonata.  Majestic, my son's cat, sadly passed last school year.  We added a new addition to our little family, Symphony Sautille.

I am a 5th degree black belt in TaeKwonDo, and up until all of the problems with my stomach condition I also taught TaeKwonDo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Over the last couple of years I have been pursuing one of my other passions...acting!

I love spiders...yes real ones!
