Ginger WALKER Obituary

WALKER, Ginger
Judith Virginia "Ginger" Walker, 76, of Blowing Rock, NC, passed away peacefully on Friday, July 15, 2016 surrounded with love and her family. Ginger was born in Detroit, MI, lived most of her life in West Palm Beach, FL and retired to Blowing Rock, NC to enjoy time with her family. She is survived by her husband, Robert Walker and seven children, Lisa Eguia Burdette, Robin Irene Walker, Linda Eguia Campbell, Mark Eguia, Jennifer Walker Porch, Maite Eguia Harte and Matthew Eguia and ten grandchildren. She is also survived by her friend and ex-husband, Jesus M. Eguia and his wife, Ana. She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, Bill, Rick and Susie and step-daughter, Martha Ann Walker and her baby, Robert. Ginger had many gifts and talents but most of all she had love to share. In addition to raising eight children her door was always open to any and all to offer support and listen without judgement. She always had a smile, positive attitude and unbreakable spirit. She was a beautician, American Gem Society gemologist, caregiver to children with HIV, volunteer Spanish interpreter and loved volunteering at the Budget Box Thrift Shop for the Blowing Rock Hospital. Her greatest gift was caring for others which included at least three stray dogs at any given time. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to your local animal shelter.
