Sara G. Walker

Sara G. Walker, of Brookhaven since 1952, rose to be with her Lord on September 1, 2009. Sally was born to Paul Clifford Kriebel and Sara King Kriebel on September 22, 1918 in Chester and lived in the city throughout her school years. She and Harry Edward Walker were married in 1936, soon welcomed Christ as the Master of their lives and lived for Him while being blessed with four children. Harry went to be with the Lord in 1986.

Sally was a dedicated wife and mother who devoted almost all of her energy to the upbringing, education and success of her children and to her service in three local church congregations. She had many wonderful friends and, although generally not outspoken outside the family, was an incisive thinker who lived with strong values and views.

Sally’s children include Judith Shive and husband, Ronald of Brookhaven, Pa; Carl Walker and wife Catherine of Delran, NJ; daughter in law, Elizabeth (Roberts) Walker of Southampton, NJ; and Paul Walker and wife Madelyn of Casi Cielo, NM. Her son, Harry Walker Jr., went to Heaven in 2001.
