Dr. Edward D. "Ted" Baker

Dr. Edward D. Baker, known to family and friends as Ted, died on Friday, September 11, 2026, at the age of 101. He was born on May 30, 1925. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Gunderson West Funeral and Cremation Care in Middleton, Wisconsin. He was not a widely covered public figure beyond his funeral notice. The Wikipedia page titled Edward Baker is a disambiguation list of other people with similar names; it does not describe this Dr. Baker of Middleton, and that Wikipedia URL should not be read as a biography of him.

What is confirmed from the Legacy.com death notice is his name, his birth and death dates, his age, and that his family arranged care through Gunderson West in Middleton. The honorific Dr. appears on the notice, indicating a doctoral level qualification, though the specific field of that qualification has not been stated in the published notice available for this memorial. Reaching 101 years of age is itself a remarkable span, carrying a life from the mid-1920s through more than a century of American change.

Detailed accounts of his education, career, marriage, children, military service, or community roles have not been published in the short death notice. No cause of death has been made public. At this early stage after his death, tributes from any professional community he may have belonged to have not yet appeared in accessible national reporting. That silence does not diminish the fact of a long life; it simply means the public record remains thin.

This memorial records the verified facts of his birth and death so that people searching for Dr. Edward Ted Baker of Middleton, Wisconsin, can find a clear and accurate page and avoid confusion with other Edward Bakers. It will be updated if a fuller family obituary or additional reputable reporting becomes available. Until then, he is remembered as a Middleton area resident who lived to 101 and whose family marked his passing through Gunderson West Funeral and Cremation Care.
