Yolanda Zamora Walker

Yolanda Zamora Walker, 73 years of age, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her children and loved ones, on Thursday, January 28, 2021. She was the strongest, most courageous, woman we’ve ever know. While we hurt and cry for our mother, we find comfort and peace in knowing that mom will no longer suffer from pain. We know that God completely healed mom and removed all ailments from her body before calling her home to Glory, because in Heaven, there is no pain.

Mom loved going to church. She cherished praising the Lord, reading her Bible, praying for and with others, spending time with family, laughing and always wearing a smile on her face. She was a loving and giving person, always thinking of others first.

When it came to each of us kids, Mom loved us unconditionally and fiercely so. She was the mom who played ‘hide and go seek’ with us and our neighborhood friends until 2 a.m.! She was the mom who would take us to Sea World, Balboa Park, The San Diego Zoo, or anywhere we could play and just be kids! The city bus was our transportation and even that was fun! She always stood up for us, was our biggest cheerleader, protected us and made sure we were safe (yes, even while playing hide and go seek in the middle of the night!).

It’s impossible to write everything we want to say about mom; she loved us each, in her own way, but still the same. The three of us were mom’s favorite! Even though she is no longer with us physically, she will always be in our hearts and we will miss her every single day and love her forever.

Our Beautiful and Beloved Mother leaves to cherish her loving memory her children: Elizabeth, Abigail, and Isaac; 9 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, two brothers and one sister.

I AM FREE

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free

to follow the path God made for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call.

I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day,

to love, to laugh, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, for I found peace at last, that day.

If my parting has left a void,

then fill it with remembering joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with hearts of sorrow. My wish for you is the hope of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I’ve savored much, good friends, good times,

a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed much too brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wants me now --- He’s set me free.
