Kathryn Walker Obituary
Kathryn “Kate" Ruth Walker, 92, of Greenville, Pennsylvania, passed peacefully at home, January 6th, 2019.
Born in Lock Haven on October 5th, 1926, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Helen (Grenoble) Sterrett.
Kate attended Lock Haven area schools and after high school, attended Williamsport Community where she studied drafting and after graduating, began working for Piper Aircraft during World War II.
In 1945, she married Lawrence Walker and had five children, David, Samuel, James, Margaret and William.
She later attended Centre County Vocational Technical School, becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse. For many years, she worked as an LPN for Centre County Hospital, later becoming a private duty nurse.
Kate’s kindness and generosity extended far beyond her family and loved ones. She always had a kind word and cheerful smile for those around her. Her coffee pot was always full and her door was always open.
Kate enjoyed quilting, knitting, crocheting and showing off her latest deals from a garage sale or thrift store. Her children, grandchildren and great-grand children were the light of her life and she carried so much love in her heart for all of them.
Kate was preceded in death by her mother and father, Robert and Helen Sterrett, and sister, Jean (Sterrett) Miller.
She is survived by sons, David (Etta) Walker, Samuel (Sally) Walker, James (Kathy) Walker, Margaret and William; 9 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.
