In Loving Memory of Lorraine Helen Walker Lorraine Helen Walker, a cherished mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully at the age of 83 on August 29, 2024, in Henderson, Nevada comforted by the love of her devoted daughter Shannon Sanchez. Her departure from this world marks the end of a life filled with love, kindness, and enduring grace. She leaves behind her daughters, Shannon Sanchez and Dawn Walker, her two sisters, her five grandsons, one granddaughter, and five great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by her beloved parents and her loving husband Gerald D. Walker, Lorraine's memory will live on in the hearts of her family. Born on December 23, 1940, in Detroit, Michigan, Lorraine was the beloved daughter of Stanley Gapczynski and Helen Urban. She graduated from Warren High School and pursued her passion in Cosmetology. Lorraine's career at Ford Motor Company spanned 27 years, a testament to her dedication and hard work. After retiring in 1997, she enjoyed her retirement years with her two loving sisters in Sun City Center, Florida. Lorraine Helen Walker was an amazing grandmother, loving mother & wife. She married Gerald D. Walker in Michigan and they had two beautiful children together. Their oldest daughter Shannon Sanchez moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1997 & their youngest daughter Dawn stayed in Detroit, Michigan Lorraine Helen Walker was such an amazing grandmother. We used to come down and visit her for the summers and it was never a dull moment. She always made us the best food and always took us to do something fun. Whether it be amusement parks, going to the beach, or just shopping, it was always such an adventure. Grandma Walker could out walk any of us, and we would always ask her to stop and take a break. No words can express the love we all have for grandma or to describe the impact and change she had on everyone's life. She truly was and is one of the greatest women, Grandmother, Great Grandmother or Mother any of us could have asked for. Just recently I heard a saying from my mother, Shannon and it went "Tears are the words that the heart can't say" hearing her say that broke my heart in so many ways. But it is the truth, we feel this pain because the love was real, and Lorraine Helen Walker meant the world to all of us. She will be greatly loved and forever missed. We love you Grandma Walker, and you will be in our hearts every day until we meet again. Until then enjoy your time with your husband and family in heaven & know that we will secretly be waiting for the day we get to be back home with you again. Thank you for changing our lives.
