Katrinka Sue Walton was born November 14, 1957, to Curtis and Ernestine Hall. Sue gained her heavenly wings on Sunday, August 1, 2021, after a long, brave fight with ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Her smile was contagious, her attitude positive and strong, as she clung to the words of John 11:4, “When Jesus heard that, He said, ‘This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.'” Sue is now resting in God’s glory surrounded by His love, and she is very much alive and cured of all pain and disease.
Sue was a member of Ballardsville Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School and worked with the youth. She loved children, and you seldom saw her that she did not have a child with her. She was previously employed by North Mississippi State Hospital in Tupelo.
Sue married the love of her life, Jerry “Smiley” Walton on August 5, 1994. They enjoyed traveling and especially loved visiting and making memories in the Great Smoky Mountains. It was well known if they weren’t home after work that they had jumped in the truck and headed to the mountains. Sue loved the fall foliage and wild animals, especially the bears.
Sue was preceded in death by her loving mother, Ernestine, and her devoted dad, Curtis.
She is survived by her husband, Jerry A. Walton of Ballardsville; her son, Dusty Walton (Lishal) of Ballardsville; her daughter, Misty Daniels (Michael) of Amory; nine grandchildren, Olivia Tucker, Levi Garrett, A.C. Ryan, Roxy Ryan, Mazy Walton, and Alex, Nathan, Jonathan, and Sara Daniels; one brother, Gary Hall (Shirley); and one sister, Patti Powell (David), both of the Carolina community. Sue was a loving aunt to a host of nieces and nephews, and a friend to everyone.
