Kathryn Hall Walter

2021 at Falls River Court in Raleigh, NC. Kay was born in

Lexington County, SC on May 31, 1940. In the summer of 1957

she met Bill, her future partner for life. They were married on

March 17, 1959. After their marriage Kay pursued a B.A. in

education and Bill a PH.D. in chemistry at the University of

Georgia in Athens. After their graduations Kay became an Army

wife while Bill served in the US Army stationed in San Juan,

Puerto Rico. During this period their son, William M. Walter III

was born. In 1965 the family moved to Raleigh, NC where Bill

had accepted a position with the U.S. Department of Agriculture

and N. C. State University. Once there Kay nurtured their son and

made their home a comfortable and loving place. Kay then went

back to school and obtained an M.S. in Psychology and an M.Ed.

in Special Education from N. C. State University. In the interim

she taught in the Wake County Public School System and finally

she taught at The Governor Morehead School. She made

teaching the blind and visually impaired students at Governor

Morehead School her passion and was very successful at lifting

her students’ capabilities. Kay was active in the teaching

profession and recognized by initiation into the Eta Chapter of

Delta Kappa Gamma. She also was an active member of the Sir

Walter Lioness Club.

In her retirement she remained a staunch advocate for the

blind and visually impaired. Above all she had a strong affinity for

children of all colors and sizes. She never met a child she didn’t

treat like an old friend. This world has lost one of its true good

people.

Besides her parents Clarence and Crystle Hall, Kay was

predeceased by her sister, Ruth Hinton and nephews Jody Hall

and Keith Hinton. She is survived by her husband of 62 years,

William M. Walter, Jr., her son William M. Walter III, her sister

Betty Harvin and brother-in-law Sep Harvin, her brother Deryl Hall

and sister-in-law Lynda Fey Hall, brother Joe Hall, sister Barbara

Hall, and her beloved nieces and nephews.
