Mrs. Marilyn Kay Walker, 70, of Jefferson City, Mo., passed away Tuesday, May 25, 2021.
Marilyn was born on November 19, 1950 to Faye (Starr) Turpin. She attended Jefferson City schools and was a 1968 graduate. She married Charles E.

Marilyn worked in Internal Medicine with JCMG for several years. She was a past member of the International Order of Rainbow for Girls and the Little Theatre.
Marilyn had a special place in her heart for animals, especially her own two, four-legged children, Scruffy and Snickers. She kept her mind sharp by reading, doing puzzles, crocheting and researching genealogy. Marilyn liked watching sports, especially NASCAR Racing and the Kansas City Chiefs. In her younger days, Marilyn traveled often. Her favorite place to go was North Carolina. Most recently, she loved going to the Lake of the Ozarks, where she enjoyed cruising on the boat with Dan. Most of all, Marilyn cherished the memories and time that she spent with her family, especially her grandkids.
