Kristiauna Marie Walker

Kristiauna Marie (Annie) Walker, twenty years old, died on June 7th, 2025. She was born on March 25th, 2005, in Laurens, South Carolina. She resided with her grandparents at 226 Pinelake Drive, Ninety-Six, SC. The likely cause of Annie's death was a drug overdose.

Annie was a graduate of Clinton High School. She was also a member of Bellview Baptist Church. Those who knew her best knew that she loved to love and to be loved. Annie's heart was big, and it was soft, and she was one of the best unsung comedians we knew. Her laughter was infectious and unbridled. She laughed like people danced when no one was watching, and she had a special heart for the weak and marginalized. We all loved her because she was one of those beautiful people you must love. Annie also had struggles, she battled depression and sought respite in the form of street drugs. God gave her to all of us as a wonderful gift whose legacy will be to cherish and respect life and time.

Annie is survived by her adoptive parents who are also her grandparents, David and Shirley Walker and her Aunt Casi Walker, who was much more like a sister to her. She is also survived by her maternal grandparents Terry and Dawn Dunaway; her great-grandmother, Shirleen Bouslay; her biological parents Jordan Walker and Koty Alexander who also loved her. She is survived by the following half siblings, Kelsey Robinson, Kalie and Ellie Taylor, Gracie Lyons, Jackson Walker, Zaydan Walker, Madilyn Walker, Gia Walker and Luke Walker. She also had numerous cousins, uncles, and aunts who survived her, supported her and loved her dearly.

She is predeceased by her half-sister, Christian Caughorn; her great grandparents, Carolyn and Julian Walker, Jack and Irene Davis and Floyd Bouslay whom with each she had a very special relationship.
