Evelyn Walker Obituary
Evelyn Slade Freeman Walker began her eternal life Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010, in Mequon, Wis.
She was born July 25, 1940, in Cleveland, Ohio, to the late Julius E. Freeman and Jane Carter Freeman. She married Charles Leon Walker, and from this union they had one son, Charles Aaron Julius Walker, currently of Sidney, Australia.
Evelyn was educated in the public schools of Lynchburg, graduated from Howard University and received two master's degrees from Columbia University. While attending Howard, she was initiated into the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and toured Latin America with the Howard University Choir.
She was preceded in death by her parents and husband, Charles.
In addition to her son, Charles, she leaves behind one aunt, two cousins and many dear friends, including her flock at the New Testament Church of Milwaukee, Wis., the Rev. Julius R. Malone, pastor. Evelyn also leaves behind many beautiful and treasured memories to her devoted family and friends.

I did know Evelyn for long. But it did not take long to know she was a woman, a Christian woman, to be admired. She did a lot with the time she had on this earth - and set an amazing example on how to deal with adversity and serious illness. My prayers go to her family. Toni Holland (Germantown, WI)
