Edna May Walker, “Eddie” 96, from rural Humbird, passed away peacefully in
Comfort Care early Saturday morning Oct 14th, 2023, at Marshfield Medical Center
Hospital in Eau Claire.
Edna, the 1st of three girls, was born May 2nd, 1927, to Sam and Alice (Bell)
Fitzmaurice on the family farm in the Town of Mentor, Humbird.
“Eddie” as he was affectionately known by family and friends, attended school in
Humbird where she graduated salutatorian of her class in 1944. As a young woman
wanting to help the war effort, she went on to attend training at the Federal
Communication Corporation in St. Paul, MN, from September to December of 1944.
She then transferred to the Electronic Radio Television Institute in
Minneapolis, MN, in January of 1945. From Minneapolis she was sent to Omaha, NE,
where she worked as a communications operator and received further training in
the communication field. She was then transferred to Wichita, KS, for a short
period of time as a clerk typist and then back to St. Paul.
After leaving the St. Paul area she returned to Humbird and was hired as a
girl’s governess at the Indian Mission School in Neillsville, where she worked
until she married Clifford D. Walker from Humbird on September 21st, 1946. To
this marriage two children were born; Arthur Clifford (Joan) Walker of Humbird
and Janet Lee Olson of Barron.
Eddie was elected and served as Treasurer for the Town of Mentor for several
years before working for various restaurants in the Black River Falls area, Pre
and Post 1-94 construction. She loved working with people and making everyone
feel at home. Edna took over Walker’s Strawberry Patch in 1989 and continued the
business until it closed in 2015. Her never-give-up work ethic that she learned
from her parents while growing up during the depression years of the 30s served
her well throughout her life.
Eddie was also known for her cooking and baking skills. Whether it was making
jelly, baking cookies, pies, bread or making fudge that she eagerly shared with
family, friends and employees, she always made sure that it was special. Edna
also enjoyed and was proficient at needlework like tatting, knitting and
crocheting.
Eddie’s outdoor interests included fly fishing for bluegills on Fairchild Pond,
steelhead fishing on the shores of Lake Michigan, catching walleyes in the wilds
of Canada, snowmobiling, gardening, having at least one flower in bloom all
summer long and hunting the elusive whitetail deer. She also enjoyed collecting
cast iron cookware.
Edna and her family attended and served the United Church of Christ in Humbird
for many years, and she was an avid supporter of the local Rod and Gun Club.
Edna is survived by and will be missed by her children; Arthur C. (Joan) Walker
and Janet L. Olson; one grandson, Toebe J. (Sharlana) Olson of Barron; two
great-grandchildren, Sierra M. Olson of Fairchild and Dylan J. Olson of Chippewa
Falls; one great-great grandson Mason also of Fairchild; and sister Carolynn
Olson of Fairchild.
Edna was preceded in death by her husband Clifford D. Walker on August 30th,
1980; both of her parents, Sam and Alice Fitzmaurice; sister Betty Harper; and
numerous brothers and sisters-in-law.
A visitation will be held Friday, Oct. 20, 2023, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the
