Vivian Barefoot Walker, 96, died Wednesday, April 17th, while living in Montgomery for the past 12 years. She was preceded in death by her husband Claude A Walker, Sr, her son C.A. Walker, Jr, her daughter, Linda Kay Story, her brothers James (Hop) Barefoot, Thurman Barefoot, Ashton Barefoot, and her sisters Martha Adams and Carolyn (Polly) Hendry, and one great-grandchild Anna Claire Tyler. She was the oldest child of James and Carrie Barefoot. She is survived by her daughter Patricia (Max) Gantt of Montgomery, AL, her brothers Thomas Barefoot of Charleston, MS, Dr. Hyran Barefoot of Jackson, TN, and Roy Barefoot of Newton, MS, six grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren (with another on the way) and one great-great-grandchild.
She worked as a bookkeeper for many years with Circle H Farms in Skene, MS, but she was best known for being a wonderful mother and grandmother to many. She loved unconditionally and always lived out her faith daily. She was very involved in church everywhere she lived. Even though she moved to Alabama later in life to be near her daughter, she always wanted you to know that she was a Mississippian, and was proud of it. We are comforted in knowing that she is whole, healed and home with her Savior. We are thankful that she was our mother, grandmother and sister. Her life certainly was an example of a life well lived.
Funeral services will be Saturday, April 27th at Memory Chapel in Laurel, with Brother Randy Clark officiating. Visitation will be at noon with the service following at 2:00 pm. Graveside service immediately following at Hickory Grove Cemetery in Laurel. In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorial donations be made to Gideon’s International.
