Kelly Rae Walker

Kelly, as a young girl was very athletic & could master any sport that she put her mind to. At a very young age, she had a very special way with little kids, teaching her nephew Jamie Rowe how to fish and ride horses.

In the early years Kelly flew up to Alaska to visit her mom in Fairbanks. It was there that she met and married Darrell Walker. That union produced her only child Twyla Jean, born Aug. 8 1978, who she loved with all her heart.

Kelly was known to be a free spirit and in the 80’s she took off to find her way. Her journey took her to Colorado and New Mexico where she worked various jobs from a Deli. To landscaping.

Kelly came back to Washington and was diagnosed 8 years prior with very rare type of cancer. Her fierce mental strength was un matched by NoOne. She continued to rally time and time again. New day, new battle. She would gather her mental toughness and continue on. Kelly was on Facebook 4 days prior to her passing. She was eagerly awaiting the holidays!

She remained in Grand Coulee with her loving mom as her compassionate caregiver and

Bob Bell as her ever ready driver, always ready to take her to her appointments.

Kelly was pre deceased by her father, Jack Smith, step brother, Mike Demmitt and love, Mike.
