Nancy Jo Walker passed away Saturday, July 10, 2021. She was born October 28, 1952. Nancy was a long-time resident of Dothan but lived the past few years in Columbus, GA and Auburn, AL.

She was a devoted member of Dothan Christian Fellowship for many years until she joined Wiregrass Church in 2004. She loved her local church and served in several different roles as a faithful volunteer. She especially knew how to welcome all who walked through the doors extending greetings and love. In addition to her work with the local church, she was an avid advocate of mission work. She participated in several mission trips to Bosnia and Afghanistan.

Nancy supported many young people through the years with prayers and cards for those participating in mission trips or by simply sending copies of newspaper articles about the sports activities of all the children she loved.

For many years Nancy taught Bible studies at a prison along with supporting local jail ministries. She recognized the needs of many people and sought to love and help all she could.

In addition to her devotion to Christ and people, she loved gardening and landscaping. Her career included working with Buds N Blossoms Nursery for over twenty years and then landscaping with the City of Dothan.

She dearly loved her cats. She also volunteered with the Dothan Spay and Neuter Clinic for several years.
