Beloved wife, mother, sister and friend, Deborah Kay Walker, passed away on September 27, 2025, at the age of 70 at Cox South Medical Center in Springfield, MO.

Deborah was born on February 9, 1955 in Maryville, Missouri and moved with her family at a young age to Branson.

Deborah was the cherished wife of Gordon Walker. The two married in Eureka Springs, AR, after years of friendship, companionship and love.

Deborah will be remembered for the selfless love she poured into her family. Her sons and grandchildren brought her the greatest joy. She also delighted family and friends with her excellent baking and cooking and her love for the outdoors shone through her enthusiasm for camping, providing many cherished family memories.

She is survived by her loving husband, Gordon Walker of Merriam Woods Village, her sons Matthew Clark of Taneyville and Justin Clark and his wife Jennifer of Colorado; five grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; her brother Vernon Livergood and his wife Michelle of Kansas City, MO; and her sister Carolyn Howie of Pauls Valley, OK. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bernard and Marie Livergood, and her siblings Cliff Livergood, Alice Schniekart, and Iileen Roberts.

Her presence was a gift to all who had the pleasure of knowing her and she will be deeply missed.
