February 29, 1948 - December 28, 2018

Jane Nell Baldridge was born on February 29, 1948 in Minnesota to Emily & Elize Dhabolt. She was the 3rd child out of 5 children. She came to California at a young age with her family and settled in Apple Valley, California with her parents and siblings, Crystal (Gaylord) Harruff, David (Liz) Dhabolt, Dell (Bill) Cook, and Marrietta (Paul) Deeds. While she did go to work in fast food her main job was being a stay at home Mom to her three children, Eugene (Tammy) Burke, James (Sheryle) Burke, and Emily (Sam) Lamech. From her children, she was blessed with 16 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. Jane had such a big heart that along with her children she gave love and attention to her 13 nieces and nephews. She gave love unconditionally and anyone that knew her, knew that all she wanted was love in return. Jane from a young age fell in love with babies and baby dolls, so much so that it followed her into her adult life. She would collect baby dolls and always created space ensure any baby doll she came across had a place. She had a passion for crafts and would find creative ways to reuse items that others had overlooked. She passed down her passion for crafts to her family , and anyone willing to sit down and learn them from her, from crocheting to cake decorating. She was also willing to learn new traits as well and never closed herself off to the chance of trying to learn something new. She went by many different names, she was "Janie" to her family and friends, "Gammy" to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her family and friends meant so much to her and she had done everything she could to help any of them out if she was able to. Any person that knew her would know the love and joy that her family brought into her life. She was loving and held strong to her faith. While she was not always able to attend church, there is no doubt that she always held the love of God in her heart. We are certain that when she stepped foot into heaven that she was greeted by her family with warm and loving arms. Her parents, Emily and Elize, will have kissed her forehead, her husband, Robert, will have embraced her with love, her nephew, Rickie will have kissed her cheek, and for the unborn babies of her family, she will have taken them in her arms and they will have known her love. A Celebration of her Life will be held Wednesday, January 16 at 11:00 a.m. at Church of the Valley, 20700 Standing Rock Road, Apple Valley. Interment will be private.
