Joyce Walker Obituary

Joyce Walker, beloved wife of the late Daniel C. Walker Jr. and mother to Daniel C. Walker III and Amanda Brignac-Wollard passed away October 25, 2023, at the age of 90.

Joyce was born to Edward and Clara Spencer on October 9, 1933, in Warrington, England. During a blind date she met the love of her life Daniel Jr. and, following a short courtship, was married on September 15, 1956. Six decades of faith-filled marriage followed.

Joyce's many accomplishments included seamstress, artist, library aide, and political operative. Her greatest joys were being Me-Me to her 2 grandsons, Nicholas & Christopher whom she "loved more than life itself" and fulfilling her wifely and motherly duties to her family.

Joyce was preceded in death by her husband Daniel C. Walker Jr., her sister Margaret Chandler, and numerous other family members. She is survived by her two children Daniel C. Walker III and his wife Kimberley and Amanda Brignac Wollard and her husband Randy, and grandchildren Nick and Chris Brignac, 5 nephews and nieces, Jay, Larry and Donald Chandler, William Vickrey Jr. and Sharon Spaulding.
