She was born February 22, 1937, in El Dorado, to Fred Walker and Diamond Pepper Perdue. A life-long member of Marrable Hill Baptist Church, she began playing the piano there at age 12, and continued until the last few years. She was a dedicated Christian who led many people to the Lord, serving as Sunday School and Training Union teacher and participated and taught for many years in the Community Bible Study.
