Emma Elizabeth Walker

On September 6th 2022, Emma Perry Walker "Grams" left us to join the Lord. Grams was born in Angleton, TX on April 9th, 1931. She married Robert Hall Walker from Danbury Texas, and they began their family together. Unfortunately, Robert passed away in the early 1960s leaving Grams to raise their three children. Ever resilient, she took up the mantle with resolve, working hard and long hours to provide for her family, at one point driving from Houston to Galveston on a daily basis to go to work. Despite the hardship she endured, she provided well for her children and raised them with love. She had a fond appreciation for the finer things in life, including good food, wine and gardening. She hosted the most lavish dinner parties, complete with personalized place cards, decorations, and the most delicious food. Ever meticulous, she could often be found toiling away in her garden in the heat of the Houston summer, even into her late 80s. Her garden was the envy of many of her friends and neighbors. She is fondly remembered for her ability to converse with almost anyone and her loving, positive spirit. She could make lifelong friends with alacrity, because she was so kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. She was never short of a good story or a kind word of encouragement to share. Grams was always guided in her actions by her deeply held Catholic faith. She spent much of her career working within the church but would still punch some overtime on the clock every Sunday, as a devoted servant of the Lord. Grams is preceded in death by her husband Robert, sisters Edna and Doris, brother Leslie, sons Robert Jr and David, and daughter Karen. She is survived by her daughter in law Susan Walker, sister in law Betty Ann, nieces: Cindy, Patsy, Peggy, Becky, Susan, Carolyn, and Kathy; nephews: Rick Perry, Skip Perry, Lee Schelley, Johnny Walker, Jeff Walker and Charlie Walker. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Melanie Smith and husband Sterling, Eric Isaacs, Roger Walker and wife Catherine, as well as her great grandchildren Anthony and Theodore.
