It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jodi Baker, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Jodi peacefully departed this world on September 2, 2026, at the age of 64.

Jodi was a cherished member of her community, known for her unwavering kindness and her ability to light up any room with her warm presence. She grew up in a loving family and was particularly close to her sister, the late Wendy Warras-Edwards. Jodi found joy in the simplest of things and had an innate ability to make others feel loved and cared for. A graduate of Menominee High School, Jodi furthered her education at Bay de Noc Community College, where she honed her skills and nurtured her passion for helping others. Her life was defined by her altruistic nature and her genuine interest in the well-being of those around her. Jodi's greatest joy in life was her family. She is survived by her devoted daughter, Erin Norkooli, and her two adored grandsons, Bryce and Cameryn Norkooli, whom she loved more than words can convey. Jodi's grandsons were the light of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Her bond with her family was deep and enduring, and she leaves behind a legacy of love that will be carried on by her surviving siblings: her sister Wanda Mottel and her brothers Dave and Kieth Warras. Jodi found endless happiness in the companionship of her beloved dog, Skylar, and treasured her moments of solace and joy in Skylar’s company. Her warmth extended beyond her family and friends, as she often went out of her way to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. In addition to her parents and sister Wendy, Jodi was predeceased by her husband, Mike Baker.
