Kimberley Collins Walker

KIMBERLEY COLLINS WALKER December 27, 1964 – January 9, 2024 Kimberley Fay Collins was born on 27 December 1964 at Fort McClellan, Alabama. She was the youngest of five siblings. Her father, Captain Lloyd A. Collins, was a career soldier, and her mother, Betty J. Collins, held many different jobs as an Army Wife. After high school, Kim worked in various jobs until she joined the team at Taco Bell that led to her becoming a General Manager. It was there that she met the love of her life, Bernard D. Walker, Jr. About a year later they were married and enjoyed life together until his unexpected death in 2004. After her husband’s death Kim moved back home with her growing children. Shortly thereafter she became the primary caretaker for her elderly mother. Whenever asked what her greatest accomplishments in life were, Kim would answer “my two children, Adam and Nicole. They are good people. They learn from their mistakes, and they will determine their own destiny. No parent can accomplish more than that in life.” Kim was a baptized member of the New Horizon Church of God of Augusta, Georgia. She loved going to church, playing the drums, singing hymns and worshipping God. Two years ago Kim was diagnosed with inoperable bile duct cancer and went through many medical treatments. The medicine failed, but Kim continued to fight a brave battle against the disease until God called her home. She often said, “I believe God heals in one of three ways: By a miracle, by medicine, and by calling a person home to heaven. I am OK with whatever God chooses for me.” Kim was called to heaven on 9 January 2024. She is survived by her mother, Betty J. Collins; her two children Adam Gay and Nikki (Chris) Copp, and her siblings: Sharon (Charles) Howell, Andrew (Caryn) Collins, Teresa Patton, and Virginia (Walter) Hagy, other relatives and a host of Christian friends around the world.
