A. Jeanette Walker, age 88 of Hesperia, passed away Sunday, March 21, 2021 at the Fountain View Retirement Village in Fremont. Jeanette was the first born of 5 children to John and Faye (Kalman) Fairchild on June 5, 1932 in Newfield Township, Oceana County and graduated from Hesperia High School in 1951. Jeanette met her husband, Clifford E. Walker at a local dance and they were married on July 26, 1952 in Hart. Clifford preceded her in death on November 8, 2010. Jeanette has been a lifelong resident of the Hesperia area where she had worked at Gerber Products Company, provided childcare in her home, worked in the housekeeping/laundry department at the Newaygo Medical Care Facility in Fremont and later fully retired from the Shaw Walker/Knoll Company. She enjoyed burger nights at the Hesperia American Legion, gaming, especially the slot machines at the casinos, camping and traveling and a bit of piano playing through the years. Jeanette's favorite time of the year was Spring, and it is only fitting she passed on the first day of Spring.
