Mother Walker united with the Supreme Council of the House of Jacob in the early 1950s. She was a church mother and served faithfully in the Winchester Mission. She is remembered by many for her duties of watching over the young children during the service hours.

During her younger years and the times of her good health, she was a faithful servant attending her services and traveling to the Convocations in Bethlehem, Township, Ohio. She was the president of the Senior Saints Organization for a number of years. Her trust and belief in God was demonstrated in the life she lived and in her praises to God. Even as her eyesight and health began to fail, she was found reading her bible and using her songbook and as she sang the songs of Zion.

Mother Walker spent three years in the Jacobs Dwelling Nursing Home where she enjoyed being with the other residents there. She greatly rejoiced during their musical devotions and church services that were held weekly.
