June L. Walker, 83, of North Platte, passed away June 9, 2017, at Great Plains Health.

June was born on June 22, 1933, in Farnam to Elmer and Eva (Keiper) Hilton. When June was very young, the family moved to the farmstead north of Cozad. June graduated from the Cozad High School in 1951.

In 1956, she was united in marriage to Gerald Walker at the United Methodist Church in Cozad. In 1962, the Walker family began with the births of Michelle Lynn, Monte David and Marsha Sue. Soon after, they moved the family to North Platte.

June was a great homemaker and also worked at the Greyhound Bus Depot and NBC computer center. Her most treasured times were spent at home taking care of her family and spoiling her grandchildren.

She enjoyed gardening, flowers, tea parties with her girlfriends, listening to country music and the Grand Ole Opry.

June was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; a daughter, Michelle Gill; sister, Doris Hergenrader; and brother, Leonard Hilton.

She is lovingly survived by her children, Monte (Anissa) Walker of North Platte and Marsha (Rick) Nester of Layton, Utah; and six grandchildren, Sam and David Gill, both of Phoenix, Brittany Nester of Layton, Utah, and Colton (Erin Lewis) Walker, Luke Walker and Bryson Walker, all of North Platte.
