Mother Romelia (Minnie) Holman Walker departed this life December 23, 2020 at Decatur-Morgan Hospital-Decatur General Campus. She was born on May 7, 1936 to the late Walker Holman and Georgia Mae Bailey Holman in Limestone County, Alabama.
Mother Walker confessed hope in Christ at an early age and joined St. Peter Missionary Baptist Church where she served faithfully for many years. She later joined Progressive Christian Outreach Ministry where she served on the Mother Board for many years and was a member of the choir for several years.
