LUCILLE WALKER Obituary
WALKER, 81
WINTER HAVEN - Lucille Baggett Walker, 81, passed away Saturday, October 26, 2013 due to complications from COPD and congestive heart failure.
Mrs. Walker was born on June 8, 1932 in Altha Florida to Bertha and Noah Baggett. The family split her childhood time each year residing in both: Altha, Florida and Eloise, Florida, where her
parents worked in the citrus industry during the harvesting season.
It was during one harvesting season, in Eloise, that Mrs. Walker met her husband, recently honorably discharged Navy sailor, Woodrow Wilson Walker, World War II veteran. Lucille and Woodrow were married on April 1, 1947 and were blessed with fifty-five years of marriage.
All five of Lucille and Woodrow Walker's children were born and raised in Winter Haven, Florida: Garry L. (Lori) Walker Sr. of Polk City; Patricia Diane (Kenneth) Farrer of Neely, Mississippi; Larry Woodrow (Martha) Walker of Auburndale; Barry Steven (Pat) Walker of Winter Haven; and Charlotte Ann (Dwight) Marsh of Winter Haven.
Friends and family of Mrs. Walker will testify to her evident enjoyment of visiting with people.
This personality trait served her well as she worked in retail sales for many years at the Diana Shop at Northgate Shopping Center, Katherine's Ladies Apparel on Central Avenue and the Vogue at the Winter Haven Mall.
Lucille's love for her family and friends was only surpassed by her love for her Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.
She spent her life in study of God's Word, sharing her knowledge for over fifty-two years of teaching Sunday School to both children and adults: first at First Baptist Church of Eloise, and second at The Way at Inwood. Lucille also taught Vacation Bible School, sang in the choir, and served on many church committees over the years. An estimate of how many lives have been touched by Mrs. Walker would be hard to ascertain.
It is a certainty that her five children, thirteen grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, in addition to all who were fortunate to marry into her family, were impacted by her living legacy of faith in the Grace of God, as well as her lessons of hard work,
morals, and charitable giving.
A Celebration of Eternal Life for Lucille Walker will be held on Friday at The Way at Inwood 34th Street & Avenue M, N.W. Winter Haven. Visitation twill be from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. followed by a worship service in the church sanctuary at 11:30 a.m. Interment will follow at Auburndale Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Way at Inwood 1302 33rd Street N.W. Winter Haven, FL 33881 or to Good Shepherd Hospice 105 Arneson Avenue Auburndale, FL 33823-3229.

My thoughts are with you in the loss of Aunt Lucille. I always enjoyed talking with her. We never seemed to run out of topics to converse about on the phone or in person. We didn't talk often enough, however when we did it was always a blessing. I will also miss her, but it is good to know her pain is no longer there and she is resting in peace. My prayers for the family.

I remember the fine example Mrs. Walker set for the children and youth at Inwood Baptist. "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord". Mathew 25:21
May peace be with the family and friends in the days, weeks and months to come.

To the entire Walker Family:
I have talked many times on the phone with Lucille about the Baggett geneaology.I met her many years ago at Kathryn's dress shop.That's when we found we were cousins. No matter where I saw her she was always the same gracious, sweetest, and prettiest lady I had ever seen. I also went to school with Garry and Diane her children. She was very proud of them all. I met her daughter-in-law Vicki when she kept my sons at Little Angel's day care. That's was when Garry jr. was called Little Garry.He was just a baby at the time. Vicki was as sweet as Lucille. I know you all will miss them both , but take comfort in knowing we will see them again someday. My thought's and prayers to you all.

We moved next to Mrs. Walker 3 years ago. I had not known her but my wife had for many years. We "hit it off" right away. We would often "solve the worlds problems" on the back porch. She lavishly loved her Lord and her Family, testifying to both at every opportunity. We will miss her but grateful she is now with our Lord fully basking in the Grace and Mercies of our Father. Prayers are now for family as they await a reunion as some future time.
