Charles T. Baker, 82, of Hermitage, passed away Saturday evening, September 23, 2023, in UPMC Passavant Hospital, Pittsburgh.

Mr. Baker was born on July 7, 1941, in Sharon, a son of the late Charles and Elizabeth (Gassner) Baker. A lifelong area resident, he was a 1959 graduate of Hickory High School.

Charles was employed for more than 30 years at Sharon Steel's former Farrell plant. Upon the plant's closure, he worked at Haywood Industries and retired from M7 in Youngstown, OH.

A devout Catholic, Charles was a member of the Church of the Good Shepherd, West Middlesex. Throughout the years, he was involved in several church organizations and social clubs.

He meticulously took care of his garden and enjoyed feeding the birds and deer. Charles also liked to play scratch-off tickets and take trips to the casino. Most of all, he cherished time spent with his family.
