South Carrollton – Anna Jean Baxter Vincent, 94, of South Carrollton, Kentucky, passed away on Friday, April 4, 2025, at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Anna Jean was born May 16, 1930, in Martwick, Kentucky. Her mother was Anna Mildred Staples and her father was Willie McLean Baxter. She was married to James (Pete) Farrah Baxter on October 15, 1949. They had five children; James Wallace, Terry Michael, Linda Ann, Robert McLean, and Darla Gaye. She attended church at First Baptist church in Central City, where she taught Sunday School, and worked with the GA’s Acteens and the WMU. Anna had a heart for talking about Jesus, and took mission trips to Chile, India, and Japan, from which she maintained lifelong friendships. Anna also taught bible studies at the local nursing facilities.

A lifelong love of history, Anna loved to tell stories about her beloved grandmother, Ella Staples. She loved genealogy, and was a member of Daughters of the American Revolution. She was an avid quilter and crocheter, and crocheted caps for the Backpack Ministry and baby booties for the Young Mothers Ministry and any newborn baby she knew. But what made her happiest was being surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

Anna Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Anna and Willie Baxter; the love of her life, husband James (Pete) Baxter; husband, Hollis Divine Vincent; and brother, William Larry Baxter.

She is survived by her sister, Nancy Ella Milligan; her children, Jim (Sandi) Baxter, Mike (Pam) Baxter, Linda (Tommy) Garris, Bob (Josephine) Baxter, Darla (Tim) Malueg; her grandchildren, Terry Baxter, Tiffany (Jason) Lindsey, Scott Greene, Beth (Tommy) Fauntleroy, Mandy (Jeremy) Stephens, Reinaldo Pina, Jessica (Pierre) Celestin, Rosalyn (Anthony) Patton, Robert Baxter Jr., Julia Malueg; 13 great-grandchildren; and 3 great great-grandchildren.

Funeral services will be Monday, April 7, 2025, at 11A.M. at Tucker Funeral Home with Dr. Chase Thompson, Rev. Kevin Reed, and Rev. Cody Stanley officiating. Burial will follow at East Union cemetery in Graham. Visitation will be Sunday starting at 5P.M. at the funeral home. Online condolences may be made at www.tuckerfuneralhomes.com.

See Condolences

My dear cousins-in-love, Mom (Pat Vincent), my siblings (Jeff Vincent, Bobby Vincent, and Suzie Garriott - and their respective families), and I grieve with you in the loss of "Aunt Ann." She was deeply loved and will be greatly missed. We will always cherish the memories we had with her. I remember fondly the time she allowed me to lead a women's Bible study in her home. We have experienced her meals, her laughter, and her gracious hospitality. I count it a privilege to have been "adopted" as part of her extended family. We are so sorry that we were not able to attend the celebration of her extraordinary life. Our hearts and prayers were indeed with you. We are sending love and hugs your way and will continue to pray for you as you face the coming days.

To my Baxter Family, my heart aches for the loss of such a kind and generous woman. She and Uncle Pete are an integral part of my childhood memories. And I will continue to cherish them, like the doll I still have that she made for me so many years ago. I know words don’t lessen the grief, but know that I will carry a small piece of the burden for you. With much love, M.M.

She was a warm, kind, and loving woman. She will be greatly missed

All my love and prayers to you all. She was absolutely wonderful and will be greatly missed.

My family loved Anna Jean. Especially my mom. Mom had known her since childhood. If I remember correctly Anna Jean taught moms Sunday School class. Mom adored Anna Jean as the other way around... we will miss you. But your celebration in Heaven is amazing.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My prayers are with you during this difficult time! Your loving cousin in Michigan, Donna.

So sorry for your loss. She was a great friend to the Whitmer's. Always coming to the Courtyard to see mom (Hallie) while she was there. Anna Jean will be missed by so many people.

To Jimmy & all of Anna Jean’s family, I know you are all going to miss this fine sweet lady. Anyone who knew her knew she loved her Lord & Savior Jesus Christ and was a prayer warrior for any one needing prayer. She was so talented & I always enjoyed every moment I got to spend talking with her. You were all so blessed to have her as a guiding light & great example of how to love & treat others; however, I am certain she would say she was the one who was blessed to have all of you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Jim so sorry to hear this, you and Sandi are in our prayers.

You have my prayers 🙏

Jimmy, Beth and family, My heart goes out to you all during this difficult time. Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother/grandmother. She was a very special and loved woman who will be missed greatly by all.

Anna Jean, a loving and Sweet friend that has been so supportive of me and our First Baptist WMU ladies. You will be missed so very much I know you are with Jesus and with those you love. See you soon, Anna Jean!!!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
