Shug was a great person worked with her for 21 years. Never a dull moment. My deepest sincere condolences to her family. Rest high Shugger Baker

To family so sorry for your loss and our loss as well, Shug was her name but for me she would always be My Shug. She was the Babygirl of our click (Natasha, Tracey, Angela and myself). She was a TRUE friend and was filled with love for her family, children, grandchildren and her friends. Family look to the hill, I know it seems dark right now and you have some question. Just know to be absent from the body is to PRESENT with Lord. We all love you, My Shug, but God love you the Best. So, Fly High Shug! Just know that your labor was not in vain. Love you always Babygirl, Billy Sorey and the Crew!!

My deepest prayers and condolences; Shug was full of life; I know she will live on through her precious children, grandchildren, and the rest of her loved ones🙏🏾
