Kimberly Elaine Walker

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my high school friend Kimmie. My sincerest condolences to you, Polly, and your entire family. Kim was an avid tea drinker and shared her experiences at the Russian Tea House in NY and selections of different teas with me. Our last meeting together was at my par-tea with other classmates. She was kind, intelligent, thoughtful, and extremely supportive. After the tea party, she wrote me a letter, gifting me her special tea flavors. And, yes, she did...

What a joy it was to have known and worked with Kim at ASM; thank you of her friends and family for sharing her with the microbiological community. God bless all of you.

Polly I am deeply saddened for your loss of Kim. I am thinking of you.....

I was so shocked to learn the sad news. Kimmy. My goodness. So sorry I'm not able to attend. All my thoughts and prayers are with you. And you're telling me Stacey is gone too?

I am so incredibly grateful that I had the honor to have Dr. Walker as my professor. She never failed to make me laugh everyday. Although I might not have been her most perfect student, she always believed in me, even when I didn´t. Dr. Walker´s passion for microbiology always pushed me to do the best of my ability. I am so thankful for every moment I spent with her. I send my deepest condolences to Dr. Walker´s family. Her memory will be immensely cherished.

As a retired Professor Emeritus from Kim's UD department, I first met her as a passionate believer in the contributions of Medical Laboratory Scientists to healthcare. We had just begun discussing her involvement in the Delaware affiliate society of the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science... I am so saddened not to be able to experience more of her dedication in person. She will be missed!
