Elma was the wife and best friend of my brother, David E. Walker. Losing her is like one branch of our Family Tree is gone forever. I treasure the long telephone talks and how we reminisced after she lost her husband, Dave, my brother. I truly believe that our world is a better place, because Dave and Elma were here.

On behalf of our entire Magnolia family, we would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Elmas family as well as honor the memory of our dear Elma by exemplifying her resilience and determination.
Our fondest memory is seeing Elma regain her strength here at Magnolias and resume walking after a significant health set back. We were so very proud of her; we remember the joy the entire team felt watching her make her victory lap up the hall.
We are thankful for her time here and also for her great family, always supporting and always encouraging the team. Thank you, Terri, for such a terrific relationship and for being such a great advocate for your mom.
