Mary Theresa Walton

On February 12, 2019, Mary T. Walton, entered peacefully into Heaven at the age of 97.   She was the beloved wife of the late George A. Walton, Sr. who preceded her in death in 1994 and with whom she shared fifty-two years of marriage.

Mary was the daughter of the late Joseph Stringer and Mary Stringer.    She was a graduate of the Downingtown High School Class of 1941.  Mary loved gardening, reading, needlework and doing crossword puzzles, but most of all, she was devoted to her family and loved watching her grandchildren grow up.  

Mary and George are survived by three children: a daughter, Patricia Hemingway (David., Sr) of Downingtown, and two sons, George Walton, Jr. (Kim) and  John (Jack) Walton (Karen)  both of Coatesville; grandsons, Dr. George, III, of Ephrata, PA., David Hemingway, Jr. of  St. Augustine, FL, Robert (Robbie)  Walton (Barbara) of  Bealeton, VA , Christopher Walton (Amy) and Chad, Walton  both of Coatesville, PA; and six great grandchildren. She is survived by her three sisters, Eleanor Fuller, Elizabeth Harrington, and Sarah Jane Heidelbaugh.  She was preceded in death by six brothers, John, James, Joseph, Bernard, Charles, and Michael Stringer.

The family is extremely grateful and would like to extend their deepest appreciation to all the volunteers, nurses, staff and care givers at the Tel Hai Retirement Community for the exceptional and loving care and attention that Mary received while a resident.
