Mrs. Jean Stodghill Walker, a resident of Quinlan, for the past 40 years, passed away late Friday evening, March 18, 2016, at home, after succumbing to a long illness of dementia.
Mrs. Walker was 81, a native of Snyder, Texas where she was born September 6, 1934, to Tom Dromgoole Stodghill and Garnett LaEunice Palmer. She was the youngest of her four siblings: Mrs. Will-Allen Stodghill – Jameson of Plainview, Texas; Mrs. Mary Helen Stodghill-Stogner of Omaha, Nebraska and Mr. Thomas Clinton Stodghill of Quinlan, Texas, all of which proceeded her in death. She is survived by her husband, Albert C. Walker, and her son, Daniel K. Richardson both of Quinlan. Two other of her children, daughters Lisa Ann Richardson and Caroline Kay Walker, died in infancy.
Mrs. Walker married Albert C. Walker in 1964 at the North Central Expressway Seventh-day Adventist Church, Dallas. In 2014 she and her husband celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary in the Daniel Renteria home.
Mrs. Walker studied at Amarillo College and was highly skilled as an administrative secretary. Over her career she worked for Cedar Sinai Hospital, Los Angeles, CA, Amarillo Hospital, Braniff Airlines in Dallas, Big Brothers in Amarillo, Texas State Commission for the Blind in Ft. Worth, Lockheed Aircraft in Marietta, GA and for her husband, Al Walker Construction in Quinlan. In addition to her long secretarial career, she was a published writer and a composer of many poems and songs.
Along with her husband, she moved to Quinlan to help her father publish his Animal Research Foundation Cowdog Magazine. Also, she organized Merchant’s Advancing Quinlan, c. 1985, a precursor to the Tawakoni Chamber of Commerce. In that endeavor, she promoted the Quinlan Merchants and advertised to shop Quinlan. For the young at heart, she provided contests and parades for the community’s citizens.
Mrs. Walker was an animal lover, caring for a wide range of God’s wild and domestic animals and birds. At one time she adopted, or purchased, some 34 monkeys, 4 chimpanzees, a North American Black Bear, named “Sody-Pop”, a MaCaw parrot, named “Bart”, a raccoon named “Caboose”, just to name a few of her beloved four-footed and feathered friends.
In addition to her husband and son, she leaves 1 grandson, Christopher Logan Richardson, and a host of Stodghill, Chambers and Walker relatives; and the Christian love and care of the Renteria family, of which her husband could not have done without, a host of many friends, Adventist and non-Adventist, and a number of foster children, who, now grown, have stayed in touch.
Mrs. Walker, before her illness, served 46 years as an active Seventh-day Adventist worker, teaching and caring for young people. In 1994, she, along with her husband, established a prison Bible study ministry known as the Chapel on the Hill to proclaim the everlasting gospel.
