My Mom was truly one of kind! She grew up in parts of Florida, California and Ardmore. She married William Andrew Walker and together I was born. Mom was faced with the challenge to raise me alone. However she had great support from her Mother, Granny. Mom worked extremely hard to the likes of multiple jobs that ranged from being a nurse aide to cooking or serving in restaurants. All in all she did what she had to support me. Being her only child, my life ultimately became her life. We were BEST FRIENDS. Being a single Mom she got blessed with having “The Talk” with me. I remember fondly she and I both stumbling through. Mom was a champion cheerleader in all my endeavors in that she believed in and encouraged any ventures I might take. She and I could talk about anything as well as cry together all the same. A true highlight in Mom’s life was being called Ninny! She was in the position to provide daycare for all the Grands so that Reverna and I could provide for our family. While Mom has a few health challenges through life she challenged them all like a warrior and survived. Just as Mom was my best friend, her best friend was her Mother. Where you found one of them you found the other. Or at least not far behind. An obituary doesn’t give room for me to tell you everything about my Mother but as you can see she was more than an amazing woman.
