Virginia Walker accepted Christ in early girlhood while attending Lafayette College and united with the Baptist church which she loved and cherished until her death. She has lived a devoted, sincere christian life and has at all times been submissive to the will of her Master. Her life has been devoted in the service of her savior and to the well being of her family.
