Nancy Walker Obituary

Nancy (Galvez) Walker of Woodstock, GA, transitioned to Heaven on Wednesday, September 18, 2019 in hospice care; beautifully surrounded by her children, their spouses and grandchildren in Woodstock, GA. She was born on October 5, 1942, to the late Alvin George and Dorothy Mouton Walker of New Orleans, LA. Nancy was a vivacious woman who always wanted her loved ones nearby. She was guilty of inviting everyone to the party, no matter who they were or where they came from. Nancy left her mark in all the cities that she lived in – New Iberia, Lake Charles, New Orleans, and Slidell, LA; Annapolis, MD; and Woodstock, GA. She will always be remembered by her excellent Cajun cooking, love of dancing, tenacity, wit, charm, grace (when pertinent) and undying love and caring for her loved ones. She was preceded in death by her husband, Paul B. Resch, of Annapolis, MD, and their three unforgettable dachshunds, Penny, Max, and Cocoa. Nancy is survived by her daughter, Susan (Ron) Vogel of Holly Springs, GA; son, Juan (Tammy) Galvez; and daughter, Jen (Sedric) Collins of Omaha, NE. She is also survived by her brothers, Michael (Yvonne) Walker of Pensacola, FL; Thomas (Lynda) Walker of Kentwood, LA; and Mark (Laurie) Walker of Richmond, VA. As well as her stepchildren Paul (Gerda) Resch of Nashville, TN; Betty (Lou Bristol) Resch, John (Heather) Resch, Barbara Resch Aubel of Lake Worth, FL; Mike (Candy) Schultheis of Royersford, PA; Linda (Neil) Schwenk of Norristown, PA. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Trevor, Brock, Ivy, Jack, Sara, Juan Jr., and Creighton; and a host of nieces and nephews. Celebration Services will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2019 in Woodstock, GA hosted by family.

My deepest sympathy to the children of Nancy and her extended family. I worked with Nancy in Annapolis and was a frequent guest at her annual crawfish parties. We were coworkers and became friends. Her approach to life and problems was unique, original and influenced my thinking. One time we were talking about illegal immigrants and I asked her what should we do with them. She simply said, "Make them legal." It was so human, so right! Her honesty, humor and integrity impressed me often. I will not forget her and hope to see her again in heaven to laugh together and to debate life's (heaven's) issues. Nancy, I love you! Rest in Peace!
