Joe Eddie Walker

Joe Eddie Walker died peacefully in his sleep on February 7 at Homestead Hills Skilled
Nursing Center. Mr. Walker was born in Winston-Salem on August 26, 1930, to the
late Rex and Chloe Walker. He was educated in the city schools and was a long-time
business owner in Winston-Salem. He was also a member of Calvary Baptist Church and a dedicated benefactor for Elon Homes and Schools for Children. Joe lived a rich, full life and had many wonderful memories to sustain him through his lengthy illness. After their son joined the family business, Joe and his wife Wanda indulged their love of travel, and over the next twenty years travelled extensively to many parts of the world until Joe's health began to fail. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Jeane Yates, of Stillwater, OK. He is survived by his wife Wanda and son Gary and daughter- in-law, Julie; two granddaughters, Allison Whitlatch (Terry) of Summerville, SC; and Jennifer Murray (Chris) of Winston-Salem; and two great grandchildren, Olivia Koontz and Walker Koontz of Fortmill, SC. There will be a memorial service at 11:00 on Saturday, February 13, at Hayworth-Miller Funeral Home located on Silas Creek Parkway, with Pastor Gary Byrum officiating. Visitation will follow the service at the same location. The family wishes to thank the caregivers at Hospice and Homestead Hills for the compassionate and loving care they gave Joe.
