The Bakersfield Californian 
Thelma L. Walker
7/13/1924 12/06/2004

Thelma was born on July 13, 1924 in Tulsa, OK to William & Laura Howell. After 
losing her mother at age 5 she helped take care of her father and three 
brothers. On June 26, 1940, at age 16 she married Sylvester Walker in Tyler, 
TX and shared 64 years of memories. In the early forties they moved to 
California and eventually settled in McFarland where they reared their 
children and spent many happy years. They later moved to Bakersfield to be 
closer to their family. 

Thelma will be remembered by all who knew her for her humor, quick wit, 
infectious laugh and her love of a good poker game. Thelma was a wonderful 
wife, mother, granny and great-granny. She was the nucleus of her family and 
helped raise several generations. She took care of all those who needed her. 
She never turned away a family member or friend. She was and is deeply loved 
and her absence is already an unbearable ache.

Thelma is survived by her loving husband, Sylvester; son, David; three 
daughters, Dana, Sylvia and Laura, and son-in-law, Ernie Summers; brother, 
Marion Howell; grandchildren, Melanie Berry, Miranda Bond, Chuck and Jason 
Holman, Lezlie Whittington, Tasha and Cianna Walker, Robbie Howell; great-
grandchildren, Crystal, Ashley, Charley, Amy, Matthew, Jana, and Jason and two 
nephews that she raised as her own, Robert (Newt) and Roger Howell.

She passed away at home with her family on December 6th. The family wishes to 
thank Hoffman Hospice for their care.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, December 11, 2004, at 1:00 p.m., at 
Coronado Baptist Church, 516 Norris Rd.
