Mona Mae Walker, 71, of Lake Odessa, died Thursday morning, Jan. 11, 2001, at
her home following an eight-year courageous battle with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
 Mona was born Oct. 16, 1929, the daughter of Hollis Manley and Dorothy
Elizabeth (Yuncker) Luce.  She was raised in Lansing and Charlotte and moved to
Portland with her family in the 10th grade.  Mona graduated from Portland High
School in 1947.  Following graduation she worked as a waitress at the hotel
Divine in Portland.

She married William L. Walker on April 4, 1953, in Clare, after which they made
their home in Lake Odessa.  Mona worked for the Lakewood Public Schools as a bus
driver for 25 years, but the role in life she enjoyed the most was being a
mother and grandmother.

She was a great fan and attended all of her family’s sporting events, band
performances and plays.  Her hobbies included cooking, working crossword puzzles
and making Afghan blankets for relatives and friends.  Mona attended Central
United Methodist Church in Lake Odessa and was a member of T.O.P.S.

She is survived by William L. Walker, her husband for 47 years; her daughter,
Charlene Lawhorn of Ionia; her sons, William H. (Tina) Walker of Lake Odessa and
Edward (Jennifer) Walker of Gladstone; her grandchildren, Abbie, Emmie Jo and
Kallie Walker of Lake Odessa, Chad and Kaili Walker of Gladstone; Autumn Combs
of Portland, Ore. and Bill Combs of Ionia; her brothers, D.H. (Roxy) Luce of
Fla.; C.G. (Bonnie) Luce of Scottville, L.Y. Luce of Scottville and R.B. Luce of
Lansing; her sisters, Ireta Brownell of Ionia and Darlene (Mike) MacPhee of
Portland; and many other loving relatives and friends. 

Mona was preceded in death by her parents; her son-in-law, Ivan Lawhorn; and her
sisters, Irene Morse, Mildred Parsons, Annette McCaul and Joyce Wells.

Mona’s family received friends Saturday and Sunday at the Koops funeral Chapel
in Lake Odessa.  The funeral service celebrating the life of Mona Mae Walker was
held Monday at the Lakewood United Methodist Church.  Burial was in Lakeside
Cemetery.  Memorial contributions may be made to the Lakewood Community
Ambulance or Barry community Hospice.
