Alice Jane “A.J.” Walter

Submitted by agreve on Wed, 02/05/2025 - 10:11

Our beautiful, incredible Mother, Alice Jane “A.J.” Walter can be summed up in two words: grace and dignity. On Jan. 30, 2025, A.J. took flight with the angels.

We were blessed to call her our Mom, but even more blessed that we have so many friends who adopted her as “Mom A.J.” She touched the lives of so many people, it is almost hard to fathom at times. She was a friend, teacher, mentor, 4-H leader, sorority and fraternity house mom, confidant and friend. In all of these roles, she had a special gift, not just teaching, but listening. A.J. took the time to listen to people and then figure out how she could help or guide them.
