Barbara Walker Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hansen-Onion-Martell Funeral Home on Dec. 18, 2025.
With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved sister, aunt, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, Barbara Ann (Pazdera) Walker, age 89, who passed away on December 15, 2025.
Barbara was born and raised in Marinette, Wisconsin to the late Otto and Josephine Pazdera, a place she always called home. She spent many years working at Ansul, where she was known for her strong work ethic and dedication.
Barbara will be remembered for her generous and kind heart, her sense of humor and her love of laughter. She enjoyed spending time with family, bus trips to the casino, playing bingo, working on crossword puzzles and spending time doing crafts. These simple joys brought her happiness and many cherished moments.
Barbara is lovingly survived by her sisters, Mary, Patsy, Toni, Veronica (Art) and Jeanie; her great-grandson, Tanner and his mother, Tressa; step-sons, Tom (Linda) Walker and Stephen (Debbie) Walker; daughters-in-law, Shirley Walker and Deb Walker; grandchildren and great-grandchildren; along with many nieces and nephews who will forever hold her memory close.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Greg "Bud" Walker; her son, Mike, her grandson, Tyler; parents, Otto and Josephine Pazdera; step-sons, Greg Walker, Jr. and David Walker; and her brothers, Billy, Bebo, Jack, Pat and Tommy Pazdera.
Barbara was truly blessed with many dear friends whose lives were enriched by her kindness and friendship.
A private gathering will be held to honor Barbara's life.
The family extends a heartfelt thank you to Tammy, Debbie, Michele and Jennifer for their daily care, compassion and unwavering support, as well as to the doctors and nurses at Aurora Medical Center in Marinette for their care and kindness. Barbara will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
Hansen-Onion-Martell funeral home is assisting the family.
