Her relatives said goodbye to her that day.
Killed on a walk
Baran had gone out for a walk on the Main Square on the Saturday of the attack and did not return. Six people died in the shooting, four of them Polish citizens, along with one British and one Austrian national. More than a dozen others were wounded.
A caregiver for her mother
Baran looked after her 80-year-old mother at home, and her sister said daily care was central to her life. In a message shared after the funeral, the sister wrote that to the world Baran might have been one of many, but to her family she was irreplaceable.

On Saturday, funerals were also held for two other victims. In Sędziszów Małopolski, a 47-year-old woman who had volunteered with the Szlachetna Paczka charity was buried at the parish church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary ("Jeszcze kilka dni temu była wśród nas". Pożegnano ofiary zamachu w Krakowie – Onet). The parish priest, Tomasz Rusyn, said she had been close to people who needed help and noted that she had been making plans just days before her death. The 47-year-old, named in local reports as Ewelina, was laid to rest there (Pogrzeb 47-latki. To jedna z ofiar zamachu w Krakowie – Wirtualna Polska). A second victim was buried in Kraśnik, in Lublin Voivodeship.
