Marion Louise Walker was a gift from God to the union of Dennis and Ozella “Babe” Mae Walker on Wednesday, September 14, 1960. She was called to enter into her eternal rest on Thursday, November 24, 2024 (Thanksgiving evening). Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, James “Pookie” Walker, Sr., sister, Delores “Sissy” Richardson and nephew, James Walker, Jr. Marion attended Fort Smith Public Schools and graduated from Northside High School with the Class of 1978.
Marion accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church under the pastorate of the late Reverend E.M. Smith, Sr., where she served as Choir Director for many years. She later joined Greater Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church , where she was a member of the Choir and Dance Team Ministry. Later in life, Marion welcomed a beautiful daughter into the family, Maegen; who was the youngest of the Walker grandchildren. Marion later; along with her daughter, joined the congregation at St. James Missionary Baptist Church under the pastorate of the late Reverend G.L. Hinkle, Sr., and current pastor Reverend Judge Green, IV where she was a member of the Mass Choir until her health begin to fail.
Marion worked faithfully with the Fort Smith Public School System for over twenty (24) years, first as a Librarian at Parker Elementary , Trusty Elementary, Beard Elementary, Cavanaugh Elementary and retired from Tilles Elementary in 2021; where she was a Secretary.
