Elaine C. Walker, of Middletown, DE, passed away peacefully at her residence surrounded by her loving family on Friday, October 4, 2019.

Born in Uniontown, PA, she was the daughter of the late John B. and Hazel A. (Ryan) Colbert. Elaine was a graduate of South Uniontown High School. She started her career with Avon Products on S.

In the late 1970’s, she graduated with a degree in business technology from Delaware Technical & Community College.          

Elaine worked many hours in her beautiful vegetable and flower gardens. She enjoyed canning, studying religious works and traveling, especially with her family. Most of all, Elaine was a devoted grandmother who loved spending time with her grandchildren and attending all of their activities. She will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and a dear friend to many.
