Genevieve Louise Walton

Genevieve Louise Walton, 85, of Lumberton, TX, died Saturday, January 29, 2022.

She was born on July 21, 1936, In Lafayette, Louisiana. She moved to Beaumont with her family when she was 16 and graduated from Beaumont High in 1956. Her teenage kids kept her on her toes; she never knew what would be in her freezer ( a bobcat, courtesy of Danny). Jimbo had a pet skunk in the living room one day, & Kenny rode a horse into her kitchen when she was trying to cook!  BJ would sleep walk during her teen years and she would find her either on the porch or in the car! Later in life she continued her love of cooking by having the extended family over for Sunday dinners. She loved fishing, riding 4 wheelers, and hunting with her late husband Earl. One of her biggest thrills was shooting her first turkey! Her and Earl cooked for many years at the Village Creek Club in Lumberton. She travelled with her church group for awhile & pre-pandemic she spent many days at the Lumberton Senior Center playing cards & socializing. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Earl L Walton; sisters, Pat Johnson and Mary Warner; son, Jimbo Duvall, Jr.; daughter, BJ Gillard; and granddaughter, Amanda Duvall.
