Obituary published on Legacy.com by Acton Funeral Home on Dec. 22, 2025.
Ann M. Walker, 90, of Hudson, MA, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 12, 2025, at The Reservoir Center in Marlborough, MA, after a brief illness.

Born in Elmira, NY, Ann was the daughter of Arthur Howard Walker of Yarmouth, ME, and Dorothy Zwicker Walker of New York, NY. She graduated from the University of Miami in Florida and went on to build a long and accomplished career as a technical writer and editor in the Engineering and Technical Services industries.

Ann is survived by Ann Sassi of Marlboro, MA; Lorena and Mark Mandozzi of Harvard, MA; and Tina and Joe Dwyer of Odenton, MD. She is also lovingly remembered by her five grandnephews and their families. She was predeceased by her lifelong friend, Susan Russell.

A woman of generosity and compassion, Ann devoted much of her time to volunteering at her church and opening her home and heart to foster golden retriever rescue dogs, an act of kindness that brought her great joy and comfort throughout her life.

In keeping with Ann's wishes, there will be no services.

Donations in Ann's memory may be made to The Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue, 110 Chapin Rd, Hudson, MA 01749-0808, or online at YGRR.org
