Geraldine "Geri" Walker died peacefully with family by her side on March 1, 2014, in Oklahoma City, OK. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother and will be remembered with great love by her family and friends.
Born in Boswell, Oklahoma, on May 20, 1939, Geri was one of seven children. She graduated from Boswell High School, where she was a member of glee club and met Dan Walker, her husband of 57 years.
Geri was a full-time homemaker and a charter member of North MacArthur Church of Christ. She enjoyed traveling, shopping for antiques, reading, and family gatherings, where her famous chicken and dumplings were the "hit" of holiday dinners and her chocolate gravy and biscuits brought children and grandchildren home from hundreds of miles away.
Geri is survived by her husband, Dan Walker; daughter Carla Walker of Edmond, OK; son Paul Walker and daughter-in-law Cady of Carrollton, TX; son Matt Walker and daughter-in-law Sarah of Coppell, TX; daughter-in-law Maria Walker of Richardson, TX; and six grandchildren: Josh Branch, Keaton Branch, Cooper Walker, Emily Walker, Katy Walker, and Tuck Walker. She is also survived by brother Kenneth Tucker of Hugo, OK and sister Lynn Grant of Tyler, TX. Geri was preceded in death by her parents, A.G. and Stella West Tucker; sisters Jean Stephenson and Melba Boykin; brothers A. D. Tucker and Jerry Tucker; and her son, Dan Tucker Walker.
