Clarie Edward Baker was born on August 27, 1906 in View Clark County Washington to parents George Baker (1881-1930) and Ethel Adele Davis (1881-1964). He had siblings Edna Mariorie Baker (1908-1996), Orville George Baker (1910-1959), James Irvin Baker (1914-1975), Russell Wayne Baker (1916-1958), Iris Ethel Baker (1920-), and Vernon Ross Baker (1927-1956).
On January 25, 1936 he married Elinor Verona Klineline (1917–2003) in Clark, Washington. The couple had two children together.
Claire & Elinor moved to Long Beach, Washington, from Vancouver, Washington, in 1947, purchasing an oceanfront travel court they named Trade Winds Cottages, previously known as McFadden Flats. He began a new position with Pacific County PUD #2, while also helping Elinor run the cottages which they both loved. They sold the cottages in 1970, in preparation for his retirement from the PUD, in 1971, when they would both retire.
They moved a few blocks inland & he put in a large vegetable garden, which he loved & worked in every day for over 15 years; also, repairing various appliances in the garage he built, until Parkinson's Disease made it impossible.
