Madelaine Walker

Madelaine Marguerite Walker (née Staples), born on February 21, 1941, slipped away peacefully on Tuesday, December 9, at City Hospital. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.

Laine is survived by her loving husband of 63 years Edward Walker; her son, Jeffery (Joan); and her daughter, Emma (Vince). She adored her grandchildren: Drayton (Ashley), Debra-Anne (Damien), Ryan, Brock, Crystal, Samantha and Anthony who brought her great joy.

Laine also leaves behind her brother Ken (Bridgette); sisters: Sharon, Debbie, and Susan; brother-in-law Peter Walker; many nieces and nephews; and her special friend Reverend Amy Bunce, all of whom will remember her warmth and kindness.

Their daughter, Nicole, will be waiting for her at Heaven's gate, where they will be reunited once more.

Laine was a renowned weaver, spinner, and overall maker of beautiful things, known for her precision, organization and artistic talent. She was a mentor and an inspiration to all in the artisan world. Her leadership in prayer shawl groups, Grandmothers for Grandmothers, and L’Arche will be deeply missed.
