Mary Rush Walker née Lynch (October 21, 1933-February 18, 2021), beloved wife of John Wallace Walker for 66 years, loving mother of Gregg Walker (Kim) of Louisville, KY, and Philip Walker (Kathryn) of Nashville, TN. She was “Grammy” to Karly and Kade Walker of Louisville and Katie Rush Walker of Nashville.
While attending the University of Kentucky, Rush met her “forever love,” John. Rush enjoyed being a member of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and made lifelong friendships with her sorority sisters. As a young mother, Rush was busy being PTA president, among many other activities, including Booster Club, Lyndon Recreational, and Den Mother. She was a lifelong member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
In 1972, Rush became a Realtor, and 4 years later, she became a Real Estate Broker. She was a partner in Walker-Toma Realty. Later, upon joining Paul Semonin, Rush quickly became one of the Top Producers and maintained that status for over 10 years. Rush ended her Real Estate career with a successful business of her own: Rush Walker Realtor. For 32 years, Rush was an enthusiastic and successful Real Estate professional.
Louisville was always John and Rush’s first home, but their second home on Manasota Key, FL, was a favorite place for walking on the beach, enjoying beautiful sunsets, fishing with John, and playing Bridge with their wonderful neighbors and friends at Tamarind.
Rush would like to thank the Louisville Bridge Club, her Alpha Gamma Delta sisters, and her caring Cobblestone neighbors for all their love, meals, cards, phone calls, and loving support over the years.
