Lansing – Nancy Lee (Mumford) Walker passed away peacefully and surrounded by her family on June 19, 2022 after a rich life of 85 years. She married her husband, Charles Franklin “Frank” Walker on November 9, 1958 in Lansing, MI. He was her one true love. Together until the end, they raised their three children, Cheryl Lynn, Jennifer Lea and Charles Andrew “Andy”.
Nancy was born to Basil D. and Lillian L. (Flowers) Mumford on June 15, 1937 in Mt. Pleasant, MI. She graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School and studied a few semesters at Central Michigan University before relocating to Lansing. She started her family with Frank and began her career at Auto-Owners Insurance Company, where she worked for 28 years.
Nancy is remembered as someone who lived simply but loved extravagantly. She focused her energy throughout her life on growing brightly colored flower gardens, maintaining her friendships, including those with Auto-Owners Insurance associates, and most importantly dedicating her love and time to her husband, her children and especially her grandchildren. She was the happiest when she was surrounded by her family. She adored and bragged about every member of her family. She was quick to bestow praise on her parents, her siblings, her spouse, her children, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren and even her nephews and nieces. We were all lucky to be loved by her.
Nancy is survived by her husband of 63 years, Frank Walker; her 4 brothers, Daryl, Ed (Roxanne), Ron (Debbie), and Mark (Kathleen); her daughters, Cheryl (Dennis) Beecham and Jennifer Koski; her son, Andy (Lisa) Walker; her 7 grandchildren, Daniel (Heidi) and Matthew Beecham, Carley and Brian Koski, Christopher (Alexis), Samantha and Anna Walker; her 3 great-grandchildren, Dalton, Brooks and just born, Baylor Beecham.
Nancy was preceded in death by both parents, her brothers Bobby and Denny Mumford, and her sister-in-law Cindy Mumford.
A private family memorial has already taken place. A larger celebration of Nancy’s life will be scheduled at a later date.
