Charlie Baker Announces Mother's Death

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker's mother has died, the governor wrote in a Facebook post.

Alice Elizabeth Baker, known as Betty, was 84 and had suffered from Alzheimer's.

"Rest In Peace mom. You raised three boys, along with tons of other kids from around the neighborhood (and some outside of it too), and along with Dad, taught everyone about life, love, service and sacrifice. God Bless," the post said.

In April, Baker criticized Will Ferrell for signing on to a comedy about Alzheimer's where he would play Ronald Reagan.

"This is somewhere between dismaying and disgusting. My parents have handled my mom's Alzheimer's with extraordinary grace, but nothing about it has been funny. Nothing. Shame on you Will Ferrell," Baker wrote in April.
