Walker worked as a caregiver for the elderly for the last 27 years.
Walker was a devoted mother. She loved to have a good time with her family and friends, and she was the life of the party. She loved to cook, dance, eat and host gatherings and bring everyone together. She had the loudest laugh and the biggest smile that would light up any room or warm any heart. Walker will be remembered as loving, crazy, loud, funny, free spirited, and compassionate. She loved hard and would travel any distance or give her all to be there for those she loved and cared about.
