It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our friend and coworker, Kristen Baird, who passed away earlier this month after battling cancer.

Kristen was a quiet but passionate person who had a knack for design and played a prominent role in planning our fundraising events. We already miss her puns, her baking, and her welcoming presence.

View Kristen Maria Baird's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.
