Tenee Baker, Colorado Springs, CO—It is with deep sadness that we report the unexpected passing of Tenee Baker. Tenee passed away following complications from surgery, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and tireless advocacy. She was a devoted mother, a champion for social justice, and a veteran who fought for the rights of others, particularly those of veterans and marginalized communities.
Tenee was a single mother to her two beloved children, Jadon Smith (23) and Saniyah Baker (14), who were the center of her world. She worked relentlessly to ensure her children had the opportunities and support they deserved. Those close to her admired her strength, determination, and boundless love for her family. Her passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of her family, friends, and community.
The Savannah Federation of Democratic Women, of which Tenee was a founding member, reflected on her commitment to social justice, writing, "Tenee Baker was one of the original founding members of the Savannah Federation of Democratic Women. She was a fierce fighter for social justice, especially veteran’s rights. She showed up for her friends and family and stood up for everyone. Please show up for her now and donate to the GoFundMe put together by her family so that they can have a proper goodbye and be supported in her absence."
Kate Daley, a friend of Tenee’s, shared, "So unbelievably sad. I only knew Tenee for a couple of years and feel so fortunate for that time that we became friends." Another friend, Rachael Ann, echoed this sentiment, stating, "You will be so missed around here, Tenee. Rest in peace, we will carry your fight forward." Jess Swanson also expressed her grief, calling it "devastating news."
In response to this tragic loss, a GoFundMe fundraiser has been organized by Sarah Kellermann to help cover funeral expenses and support Tenee’s children in the coming months. The fundraiser aims to raise $50,000 to provide financial stability for Jadon and Saniyah during this difficult time, ensuring Tenee’s memory is honored in a meaningful way.
Our hearts go out to Tenee’s family, friends, and all those who were touched by her spirit. May her legacy live on, and may her children find strength and support in the outpouring of love from their community.
We extend our thoughts and prayers to Tenee’s loved ones, wishing them peace and comfort as they navigate this profound loss.
