LAVETTE "NEGESTI" BAKER ABEBECH ~ Class of 1971
January 13, 1953 - March 29, 2007


35-year Class Reunion

Lavette was born January 13, 1953 in Richland, WA to Fred and Lavern Baker. She graduated from Columbia High School in 1971 and attended Eastern Washington State College in Cheney. Negesti volunteered and worked at various organizations around Washington State, most recently Richmark Label in Seattle.

Negesti brought beauty, humor, joy and creativity to our lives, and inspired us to want to do the same for others. She lived by the rule of reciprocity.

Negesti is survived by her Mother, Lavern Baker, sisters Teresa ('67) and Kathryn, twin sister Lavonne ('71), niece Jami and her fiancé Dedriq, nephew Akim ("Neph"), and multitudes of friends and loved ones everywhere.

Join us Saturday, April 7, 2:00pm for the Remembrance Service and 4:00pm for the Celebration to be held at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, 104 17th Avenue S, Seattle, WA 98144.
