May 19, 1935 - January 1, 2018

Loretta Walker, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on Monday January 1, 2018 in Layton Utah.  She was 82 years old.

Loretta was born on May 19, 1935 in Nelson, British Columbia Canada to James Hunter and Bertha May Sutherland.  She attended Nelson British Columbia schools and graduated from L.V. Rogers Secondary School.

Loretta worked for the IRS and later as a T.O. Clerk at Hill Air Force Base before retiring.

Loretta’s greatest loves were her children and grandchildren.  She was most happy when in the company of her family and friends. No matter what was going on around her, she was always smiling and ready to laugh. Loretta radiated positivity and brightened the day of anyone that crossed her path. She was resilient, warm, and always put other people first. She is overwhelmingly loved and will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her.
