Anderson Funeral Home Obituary
Jennie Ann (Bourn) Walton, age 92, died Thursday Sept 19, 2019 at her home in Downing, WI with hospice. She was born June 20, 1927 near Downing, WI to Alvin and Loretta (Walker) Bourn. She grew up on the family farm with her 7 sibling. Jennie later married Leslie Walton and had 2 children.
Jennie loved the farm,, to cross stitch and gardening. She loved to sing in the church choir and she would serve as a vocalist for funeral and weddings.
Her life was directed by her faith in Jesus Christ. She always professed her faith and she was always quick to witness her faith in God. Her and brothers Henry and Arthur would have vigorous discussions on the bible and when Thelma was present they became even more vigorous. Jennie was a homemaker until the children were grown and the passing of her mother. She then found her calling and pursued her dream of becoming a nurse. She attended school at Eau Claire Vocational and later at the Lakewood Community College in White Bear Lake, Minnesota where she received her Nursing degree in 1986. Jennie worked as a nurse into her 70's. She had many friends from the every area of her life. She loved to have a cup of coffee, visit, tease and a fun time with them all. As her memory started to fail she would have "snippits" of the times she had with her family and friends.
Her real joy were her grand and great grandchildren. They would be the center of her attention when they came to visit or stay, she would take them shopping, buying gifts or giving them money. But she loved them all.
Jennie is preceded in death by her parents, husband Leslie, grandchildren Joel and Tina. Siblings Henry, Thelma, Alvin, Arthur, John, Grace and Dick.
Jennie is survived by children, Michael (Susie) Walton and Thelma Ann (Donald) Johnson. Grandchildren Heidi, Ryan, Sarah, Aaron, Angie, Zack and Karl. 14 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
