Melba Aileen Walker

Melba Aileen Walker 98, of Pascagoula, MS passed away on Saturday, April 13, 2024.

Melba was born, August 22, 1925 in Maysfield, TX to John and Clara Belle Thweatt. She worked as Central Elementary School as Secretary and later in the District Office.  She kept herself busy which was probably beneficial to her longevity. She loved to play golf and exceled at it. She was a former member of the Pascagoula Country Club, a member of the Eastern Star and First United Methodist Church of Pascagoula. She enjoyed sewing, cross-stitching and crocheting. She took great pride and it brought her joy to drive the Ms. Daisies’ (older ladies) of Pascagoula. Her youthful spirit and tenacity somehow never allowed her to feel her age.  She saw many changes in her almost 99 years and she managed them well. She leaves us with many great memories. She will be greatly missed.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Lee Walker; a son Ron L Walker; siblings, Finis, Ernest and Lavonia.

She is survived by two daughters, Beverly Atkinson (Dewey) of Seaford, Delaware and Cheryl Wilkinson of Pascagoula, Mississippi; grandchildren, Derek Atkinson, Brandon Wilkinson, Whitney James, Dusty Walker, Paige Atkison, Maggie James, Ashton Walker and Teagen Walker.

Visitation will be Friday, April 19, 2024 from 1:00-1:30pm at Green Patterson Funeral Home in Cameron, TX. Graveside service will follow at Friendship Cemetery in Buckholts, TX.  Please share your memories and express your condolences online at www.green-pattersonfuneralhome.com.
