Barbara Jane Walker

Barbara Jane Walker passed away, surrounded by loved ones, May 10, 2022 in Klamath Falls, Oregon. She was born June 21, 1946 in Minnesota. Barb moved to Klamath Falls in 1960 when her father, the late Henry J. Hasskamp, was transferred by Great Northern Railroad. Barb graduated from Klamath Union in 1964. She remembered her teen years fondly. She joined Pacific Northwest Bell as an Operator in 1964 making $64 a week which she said was lot of money. That same year, she married Brian Walker. They were married for 17 years and had three children. She continued with the phone company, retiring after 35 years as a manager in AT&T's Portland office. Barb was proud of her career.

Barb counted raising three children as her biggest accomplishment. She was helped in this venture by her close knit family. Barb is survived by her three children, grandchildren, her four siblings, many nieces and nephews, her mother, Geraldine Hasskamp, and her treasured best friend Veronica Yancey.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, June 11 at 11:00 am, at Christ Lutheran Church, Klamath Falls, Oregon.
