She was born on July 17, 1929, to the late Bernard and Juanita (Bess) Beam in Tipton County.

Mrs. Baird was a graduate of Sheridan High School, Class of 1947.

Mrs. Baird was very involved in her church and would go on trips with her church group. When she was home, she enjoyed cooking, especially for her family, and she liked being outside working in her flower garden.
