->Alice Josephine Sophia Griffen Baker went to be with her Lord & Savior on December 16, 2010. The highly thought of centenarian was born December 31, 1909 and lived in Ithaca all of her life. She graduated from Tompkins County Memorial Nursing School in 1932, and practiced as a Registered Nurse most of her life. She marveled with joy at the progress she witnessed in medicine over the century of her life. Church, family, social clubs, camping, gardening, and reading filled her life and kept her young. She belonged to the Newfield United Methodist Church, The Jolly Kampers Klub of the Finger Lakes Region, Enfield Valley Grange #295, Women's Antique Club, and Enfield Seniors Club. Alice was predeceased by her husband Daniel, her sister Florence Pass and her brother Alfred Griffen. She is survived by her children: Jim (Phyllis) Baker, Mary Earlandt, and Richard (Carol) Baker. Her grandchildren: Jamie Baker, Jonathan Baker, Louise Baker Moore, Kathi Earlandt, Robert Earlandt, Rebecca Earlandt, Sandra Baker Yaple, and David Baker. She is survived by 8 adoring great grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Wanda Griffen and her brother Dick Griffen. Alice was surrounded by family and friends as she passed away at her home of 80 years. She used her home to raise her children, entertain friends and family, and share the wisdom she had gained through a life of working on the family farm, caring for patients, and understanding God's grace through the good times and the difficult times. The family will receive friends at 1:00 PM, December 22 at Wagner Funeral Home 110 S. Geneva St., Ithaca with the funeral service immediately following at 2:00 PM.
