On Monday, July 10, 2023, our loved one, Rudell Walker, peacefully transitioned into the arms of the Lord. She was born on May 11, 1931, to the late Daniel and Martha Ann Walker.
Early in life, Rudell accepted Christ as her personal Savior. She was educated in the Williamsburg-James City County Public School System. She was a hard and dedicated worker until her health began to fail.
Rudell was a dedicated and loving mother and grandmother. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her, but we find comfort in knowing that Rudell is now at peace, resting in the arms of our Lord and Savior. We also know that God’s will has been done. Smile on, beloved one, and take your well-deserved rest. We will always carry the memories of you close within our hearts. We love you.
