Angela N. Walker, 90

Angela N. Walker

went to walk with the Lord our savior on Saturday, May 8, 2010.

Angela was born

Sophie Nellie Sularz on Sept. 17, 1919. Her parents were Polish

immigrants.

When Angie was a

young girl she was diagnosed with TB (Pott’s disease) of the spine.

Her father moved the family to Minneapolis, Minn., where she was

placed in a TB sanitarium at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

She lay in a body cast for a year. Angie survived this challenge

when no one else did. This was just one of the many challenges that

Angie encountered as she traveled down life’s road.

In 1929 her

family moved to Trout Creek, Mont. That’s where Angie lived and

went to school. She loved going to dances and hiking to the top of

mountains.

Angie married

twice. Her first husband died in 1948; with three children she

later remarried the love of her life, Wayne Walker. They moved to

Burke and then Wallace in 1957.

Wallace became

home. Her love for the people was unending. Angie was the happiest

when she was entertaining family and friends.

Angie was a

homemaker until the early 1970s. She worked for the North Idaho

Press and later worked 24 years at the Wallace Laundromat. She

loved the job because she could be with the people. Everyone loved

her. She also bowled in a league for 30 years at Albi’s in

Wallace.

Angie was

preceded in death by her husband, a son and a granddaughter.

She is survived

by five children, Don of Post Falls, Roberta of Coeur d’Alene,

Marie of Rathdrum, John of Nevada and Cheri of Wallace; 13

grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and one

great-great-granddaughter; and her brother, Frank Sularz of

Arizona.

Angie was born

Catholic and a parishioner of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in

Wallace and was involved with many activities there. She lived her

faith.

A memorial

service will be held Saturday, May 15, 2010, at St. Alphonsus

Catholic Church. Rosary will begin at 10 a.m. and the service at 11

a.m. A reception will follow at the Wallace Elks.

In lieu of

flowers the family requests donations to the “6th Street

Melodrama,” P.O. Box 1243, Wallace, ID 83873.

Our mother found

so much joy in the melodrama and was a faithful supporter.
