Obituary
Ms. Johnnye Walton was born in Bryan, TX to the late Dorothy & Marvin Walton Sr.
She attended Bryan Public Schools and is a 1973 graduate of Bryan High School. She furthered her education at Bryan Vocational School of Nursing and served the community as a Licensed Vocational Nurse at St. Joseph’s Hospital where she retired after 35 years. She was currently employed PRN at Crestview Retirement Community.
In 1981 while attending a tent revival in Dallas, TX she was moved to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior in her life. That was by far the greatest moment of her life. She loved sharing the word of God, and could always be depended on to have a Bible tract on hand.
She was a nurturer at heart, always caring for others. Her favorite past times were her morning coffee, midnight barbecues, gardening, and movie nights with the kids. She especially enjoyed late night rides with Nona and Sinclair.
She is preceded in death by her parents Dorothy and Marvin Walton, Sr. along with her siblings Marva Williams, Marvin Walton Jr., and Quinton Walton. She is survived by her sisters Diana Walton, Ozzie Allen (Darryl), Winona Walton and her Brothers Windom, Alister (Freddie), Roderick, & Paul (Michelle) Walton, Leroy(Vernell) Walton.
She also leaves to cherish her precious memories three children: Tracy Evette Walton, and Robert & Michaela Gladden. She is also survived by her beloved grand children Tavion & Triston Walton, Tatum “Bird” Barnes, Zi’hara, Royal, & Robert III Gladden & one great grandchild Aubrie Walton. She also helped raise almost all of her nieces & nephews and loved them as her own. She was well loved, well known & affectionately called Aunt Molli by so many people in the community.
The legacy of love, generosity, and kindness that she leaves behind will never be forgotten. Although our hearts are shattered, we know that she’s with the Lord.
Rest in glory Johnnye for Jesus (as she often called herself). You will FOREVER be alive in our hearts!

JOHN 5:28-29
The kindness and love that Aunt Molly showed towards so many people will never be matched nor forgotten. She never met a stranger. Seeing her show love and kindness towards others made me realize that I had to do something better in my life towards my fellow man. Her love and kindness will never be forgotten or surpassed in this lifetime. Aunt Molly saw me when I was devastated and going through a difficult time in my life she reached out to me in a way that only she could. She told me to hold my head up and let my smile guide me through the pain and tears. That was the greatest advice I could have received at that time. God had her in my path with wonderful words of wisdom every time I was in a situation where I needed advice to guide me through she was there. I love her and will miss her very much. But I rejoice knowing she is with the Lord Jesus in Heaven! Amen and Amen
Aunt Molly your memorial service was beautiful! So many people had beautiful things to say about you. You will truly be missed here in this earth. But your LEGACY OF LOVE, KINDNESS AND LAUGHTER WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN! You will live on in our hearts every day until we meet again in Heaven!
WE LOVE YOU AUNT MOLLY!
Deepest condolences to Molli’s family and especially her children and grandchildren. She was a lifelong childhood friend from our days at Fairview Elementary throughout high school and our special bond our one year at Stephen F Austin High before going on to Bryan High. Milli was fresh, fun and a beautiful spirit. She will be greatly missed. May she rest peacefully in the arms of our Lord and Savior. Always her friend, Goldie Sterling Donatto.
Rest in peace my classmate. We know where you are.
My heart aches with you. You are in my prayers May the Comfort of the Lord overshadow you and your family.
My prayers are with Johnnye’s family, friends, and colleagues during this unexpected loss. As a fellow Bryan High ’73 classmate, I am so saddened by her passing. May our Lord and a lifetime of good memories provide comfort and strength. Peace be with you.
So sorry for your loss
