Carol Lynn Albin Walker

July 2, 1946 - October 4, 2015

Carol slipped away from us peacefully at her home with her husband and daughters at her side.

Carol was a native Houstonian, growing up in Spring Branch where she still resided. She was the first baby born to the newly formed St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, where her parents were charter members. It was here she met and married her husband, Alan Walker, of 52 years. She graduated from Spring Branch High School and University of Houston earning her CPA, which would become her lifelong work. Her dedication to family and friends was evident in everything she did. Her door was always open to those seeking her advice, which were many.

She worked hand in hand with her husband building and maintaining family businesses. Carol loved traveling and traveled extensively with her daughters and grandchildren throughout Europe, Asia, and Central America.

Her spirit lives in all of us.

Carol is survived by her loving husband Alan Walker; daughters, Shari Conner and her husband Brian, Kari Coffey and her husband Frank; grandchildren, Amelia and Miles Conner, Devin and Chad Coffey; sister, Jerrie Stobb and her husband Gary; sister-in-law, Cheryl Casey and her husband Shawn and brother, L.D. Albin and his wife Betsy. Also surviving are numerous nieces, nephews and her close personal friend and business partner, Rebecca Proler.

Visitation with the family will be held from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at Waltrip Funeral Directors. Funeral services will be 10:00 a.m., Thursday, October 8, 2015 at St. Mark Lutheran Church, 1515 Hillendahl. Interment will follow in Woodlawn Garden of Memories.
