She loved visiting Holden Beach and collecting seashells and enjoyed trips to Maggie Valley.

Many enjoyed this yearly tradition by slowly passing by on the highway or simply stopping by to get a better view.

She was also predeceased by her sisters, Mary Elizabeth Walker, Shadie Kate Walker and two half-sisters, Patricia Ann Walker Dutton and Carolyn Jean Walker Thompson; brothers, J.P. Walker, James William Walker, Joe Winford Walker and Wayne LeRoy Walker. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at Antioch Baptist Church officiated by Rev. Steve Ramey.
