Our mother, Lydia Cuartero Walton, born October 12th 1935, was called home to her eternal house on May 10th. Mom had a calling 45 years ago to spread the Good News to all who would listen, to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We will never know the exact number of souls she brought to Christ, but a fair estimate would be in the thousands.
She is survived by her children Sheryl Miller, Kevin Walton (Beth) and Connie Bonville (David). She had 8 grandchildren, Chad Catlett, Nicole Sloope, Ashley Rhodes, Laura Walton, Cory Longino, Shannon Berlinsky, Bradley Bonville, Jacob Miller, 10 great grandchildren, and her brother Bill Cuartero (Claudia). Her husband, O.B. Walton, pre-deceased her after 61 years of marriage.
She was always there for her family. Her smile was contagious and the Lord glowed on her face. She knew the Bible inside out and could recall a scripture regarding any topic on life from memory.
We had many talks about eternity ... well now she is there. She is with her beloved husband O.B., her mom, dad, and her sister Hilda.
We will miss her for now, but we will be together again in paradise.
Visitation will be held at River Church Monday, May the 17th, located at 1820 Monument Rd, Jacksonville Florida at 10:00 a.m. Service will be at 11:00 a.m., followed by graveside at Greenlawn Cemetery, 4300 Beach Blvd.
