Jane Maxine Heaston Walker was born in Kansas City, Mo., on March 31, 1932, to Mildred Marie Brahs and Isaac Lorraine Heaston. After graduating from Cotter High School in Arkansas, Jane married Robert Earl McMillin and moved to Texas.
In the 1970s Jane married newspaper owner and publisher, Roger Walker. When he retired they moved to Tyler. At that time Jane earned her pilot's license, and she graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler with a degree in nursing. She was an accomplished nurse, known for her sincere desire to help those in need at the Andrews Center, where she was a psychiatric nurse for the past 10 years.
