Amaya Marie Walker, age 3, of Madison, passed away on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2009, at St. Mary's Hospital. She was born on July 1, 2005, in Madison, the daughter of Alicia Walker. Amaya was a little angel who touched countless lives with her humor. Her life was shaped by many who loved her, especially Dwight, Amy, Michael and Brittany Kirkendoll.

Amaya is survived by her mother, Alicia Walker; brother, Lucas James Freeman; grandmother, April Walker; grandfather, James C. Walker; great-grandmother, Patricia Haak; aunts, Alexandria Walker, Alivia Walker, and Lori Haak; uncles, William R. Haak Jr. (Cindy Lee), Cory Haak (Ann Fleischmann), and Terrell Walker; and other aunts, uncles, relatives and many friends.

She was preceded in death by her great-grandfather, William Roger Haak.

Funeral services will be held at ST ANN'S CATHOLIC CHURCH, 323 N. Van Buren St., Stoughton, at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009, with Monsignor Gerard Healy presiding. Visitation will be at the church from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the service. Burial will be at Highland Memory Gardens.

Amaya's grandmother, April Walker, was convicted December 8, 2009 of child neglect resulting in the death of her 3-year-old granddaughter from an overdose of the prescription painkiller oxycodone. Amaya lived with her grandmother as a result of her mother being in prison for forgery. Amaya had six times the therapeutic range for oxycodone in her blood, as well as Valium, at the time of her death, the complaint states. A doctor cited in the complaint said an antidote could have reversed the drugs' effects soon after ingestion. April said she was taking Amaya to a hospital emergency room at about 8 a.m. on Feb. 6. But instead, she drove two YWCA residents to the Job Center, then went to her mother's house and watched "The Young and the Restless" before making calls about Amaya and speaking with a nurse at a clinic. Walker then went to get a friend, who called 911 after they found Amaya wasn't breathing. Amaya died the next day.
