Louera L. Walker 79, passed away Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at her home in Jasper, surrounded by her family. Louera was born March 4, 1939 in Avilla, MO to the late Era F. and Louise “Caldwell” Culley. Her mother passed away at childbirth, and her Aunt Marie Chandler raised her, along with her father and step-mother, Lucille Culley, who passed away August 9, 2018. After graduating from Sarcoxie High School, she moved in with her father and step-mother.
Louera was united in marriage to Leon Walker on July 6, 1957 in Oklahoma. She spent the last 54 years on their farm South of Jasper, where she raised her three sons, operated a beauty shop for many years and helped her husband with his dairy operation. She also worked at McCune Brooks Hospital for many years and retired in 2011. Louera was a member of the First Christian Church in Jasper. She was always ready to help her family and friends; this special lady will be missed by both.
