Walker, Marilyn "Lynn" Darlene, went to be with her
Lord on September 21, 2003 after a long and courageous battle
with cancer. Lynn fought her battle with a determination that
inspired and amazed those around her. Some in this life are
required to endure a heavier burden and Lynn carried her burden
with quiet strength and dignity. Lynn was born December 31, 1937
in Arkansas City, Kansas to Luther and Iona Barnett.

four children: David Parks, Sharla Waltrip, Jeri Kay Schimmels
and Michael Parks and seven step children: Kathy Miller, Johnny
Walker, Jennie Beck, Kendall Wiley, Gary Walker, Cheryl Starke

Lynn is also survived by 21 grandchildren and seven great
grandchildren. Lynn worked as a manager for Kerr McGee/Conoco

crafts, gardening and she loved decorating for the holidays.
