Ann Katherine Walker, age 87, returned to the lord on April 29, 2024. Ann was born February 23,1937 to John Ryon Russel and Katherine Elizabeth Walker in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She attended Little Flower High School for Girls and proudly supported this institution throughout her life. She met and married James Joseph Walker on October 18, 1958, and they enjoyed 67 years by each other’s side.
In 1974 Jim’s work with Warner Brothers brought the family from Philadelphia to Northridge, California. Having lost her father at a young age and being an only child, she refused to move unless her mother was included in the journey. What a blessing to have her mother with her helping with her three boys, James Jr. (Jennifer), Steve (Nancy) and John (Dianne). Ann’s faith and devotion to the Catholic church was unwavering. She was a member of Our Lady of Lourdes and served in numerous capacities throughout the years as Women’s Council President, lecturer, and parish office staff.
Nothing brought her more joy than her seven grandchildren. Matthew (Amanda), Katie, John, Kimberly, Nicholas, Katharine and Emma. Family vacations every summer in San Diego, Huntington Beach and Hawaii were something she looked forward to and cherished spending time making memories on these adventures.
Ann was a strong, confident woman who was a loyal friend to many and always ready to lend a willing ear to others. She will be remembered as a woman of faith with style and grace and an amazing mother and grandmother.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation in Ann’s memory to Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls, 1000 W. Lycoming St., Philadelphia, PA 19140
