Obituary of Doris Jane Walker

WALKER (Anderson), Doris Jane

It is with broken hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of Doris on November 12, 2018, in the Annapolis Community Health Centre, Annapolis Royal at the age of 94. She was born on July 25, 1924, to the late Joseph and Laura (Smith) Anderson.  Doris worked at the Post Office in Wolfville for ten years where she met her husband, Ray, who worked at the bank across the street.  They raised a family in Halifax and then moved to Bridgetown in 1988 following his retirement. Doris was a lifelong member of the Baptist church and enjoyed singing hymns and songs of praise in earlier years with twin sister, Dorothy, and later in several church choirs.  Faith and family were important to Doris.  She is survived by her husband of 60 years Raymond Outhit Walker, daughter Sharon (John) Bain, son Zane Walker (Judy Lee), grandchildren Laura and Allison Bain, and Christopher and Tristan Walker, as well as a brother and four sisters.  She was predeceased by a sister, Pauline McDow, as well as several sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.  There will be no visitation by request.  Funeral service will be held Thursday, November 15, 2018, at 2 pm in the Bridgetown Baptist Church, Reverend Brian Wallace officiating, with a reception to follow.  Burial will take place in the Riverside Cemetery, Bridgetown.  Family flowers only please.   Donations in memory of Doris may be made to the Bridgetown Baptist Church. The family would like to extend their thanks to the staff of the Annapolis Community Health Centre for their wonderful care and compassion.  Online condolences may be made by visiting kaulbachfamilyfuneralhome.com.
