Ms Baker, 53, lost her life in a tragic car crash at the junction of Grace St and Simpson St on Sunday night.
Friends say she was picked up by a friend at 7:55pm that evening to go and enjoy a night out and "didn't even make it 500m from her house before she was tragically and unnecessarily taken from us".
In the fundraiser Lily Pigliafiori said Ms Baker was loved by many far and wide and was well known to light up any room with her contagious smile, laugh and beautiful glow.
