Viola's obituary
Viola Marie Walker, 82, of Sweeny, Texas, passed away on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, in Harris County, Texas. She was born June 3, 1943, in Matagorda, Texas, to Houston L. and Fannie L. (Plant) Sisson.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Houston and Fannie; her son, David Leroy Henderson; her daughter, Pamela Sue Davis; and three siblings—Wanda, Linda, and Houston Jr.
Left to honor and share her memory are her children: Terri Newsom of Sweeny; Diana Crocker and husband Dennis of Brazoria; Jennifer Carter and husband John of Sweeny; and Gary Walker Jr. of Sweeny.
Viola was lovingly called “Grandma” by her grandchildren: Darla Munkelwitz and husband Phil of Florida, John Sanchez Jr. of Oregon, Lewis Sanchez and wife Juana of Texas, Ryan Sanchez and wife Ashley of Florida, Benjamin Newsom of Texas, April Carter of Texas, Glenn Carter of Texas, and Alyssa Mendez of Texas. She was also blessed with ten great-grandchildren, Sydney, Taylor, Ruby, Ana, Valeria, Michael, Mylah, Naveah, Helaina, Maliyah, and one more on the way (Rylan).
She is also survived by several siblings, extended family members, and friends who will carry her memory in their hearts.
Viola loved watching movies, piecing together puzzles, and never passed up a good word search. She was an avid reader and found joy in quiet, thoughtful moments. Before her health declined, she attended Full Gospel Lighthouse, where she found strength and comfort in her faith.
