Rebecca Darlene Walton has gone to be with her Lord.

Darlene was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on August 5, 1954, to Jack & Lura (Western) Walton. She passed February 21, 2021. Darlene was comforted on her journey home by two very caring staff members of Calera Manor Nursing Home in Calera, Oklahoma. Their names are Wendy Harrington and Alexus Phillips. They took time from their busy lives to sing gospel songs, read scripture, comb her hair, and tell her just how much Jesus loved her and was waiting for her homecoming.

Darlene was a long time resident of Boyce Manor Nursing Home in Holdenville. She was a faithful member of the Faith Free Will Baptist Church of Holdenville.

Let me share a little about this amazing woman. First of all she is a Christian. She believed and was always studying her Bible and listening to Gospel channels.

Darlene was a very strong woman. An overcomer. An adapter. A survivor. She was a business woman making and selling jewelry to supplement her income. Darlene loved her children, grandchildren, and yes, her great grandchildren, as well as her many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Jack & Lura Walton; three brothers: John Walton, George Walton, and Roger Walton; one sister, Jackie Kyle; sister-in-law Margaret Walton; grandparents Raymond & Johnnie Peace; nephew Da'Shane Lowe; cousins Reba Woodruff and Jack & Sylvia Peace; her best friend, Nannette Wagoner.

Darlene leaves behind a son, Ray Walton and wife Amy, grandson Tynan, and great grandson Legend; a daughter, Renee Kelley, grandsons Brocke Serio and Talon Duhe; one brother, Jack Walton and his daughter, Megan Molnar; two sisters/cousins, Jonnie Kanada and Donna Hamilton.

Her Pastor, Bro. Earl Scroggins, officiated funeral services at Faith Free Will Baptist Church at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, February 26, 2021. The amazing church women provided the meal for the family. Interment was in the Walton Family Cemetery in Sasakwa. Pallbearers were Silas Hamilton, Vince Coats, Michael Taylor, Harley Bell, Jeffery Crowell, and Zack May. Honorary pallbearers were Tynan Walton, Legend Walton, Brocke Serio, Talon Duhe, and De'Leon Shepherd.
