Georgetown:
Mabel Isaac Walker, 89, widow of William P. (Bill) Walker, passed away peacefully in Mt. Pleasant on Sunday evening with her loving family members at her side.
The second child of Thomas and Catherine Isaac, Mabel was born on November 19, 1922 in Georgetown, South Carolina. She retired as Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent of the Georgetown County Department of Education. She married the love of her life, Bill Walker, on February 28, 1946 in Georgetown. They met while he was stationed at the US Marine Corps Air Station in Georgetown after World War II.
She was always deeply mournful of the passing of her youngest son, Robert Walker, in 1989.
She is survived by three sons, Billy and Amelia Long Walker of Lexington and their children, Will and Amelia Waring Walker and Bette; Tommy and Vicki Simmons Walker of Mt. Pleasant and their children Thomas and Matt; Cary and Dina Shuman Walker of Mt. Pleasant, and their children Mary Catherine, Cary and Lawrence. Numerous nieces and nephews who were very much a part of her life survive her as well.
She is also survived by her loving and devoted sister, Beverly Isaac Turbeville of Georgetown.
Her parents and siblings, Joe Isaac, Sr. of Georgetown, Daniel Isaac of Myrtle Beach, Kathleen Cantwell of Sullivan's Island, Frances Isaac Boss of Virginia all preceded her in death.
She was a devout Catholic and life-long member of St. Mary, Our Lady of Ransom, Catholic Church in Georgetown. She was baptized there as were all of her children. She attended Holy Mass as long as she was physically able.
Mabel was an outgoing, personable, social person with an engaging laugh and smile for all. There was no social occasion that she did not enjoy the company of those present.
She took up the game of golf after her last child was born at the age of 39. She was a competitor of the highest order and went on to win many women's golf tournaments and several club championships at the Winyah Bay Country Club. There was nothing more fun to her than that five-some of her boys and husband on a Sunday afternoon where the rules of golf were strictly observed. As recently as a few months ago she longed to play just 9 more holes!
The family is deeply grateful for the loving attention provided her by the Franke Home of Mt. Pleasant where she spent her last year, and to The Reverend Ron Farrell of St. Mary's for his spiritual encouragement and support.
Visitation will be held at the Mayer Funeral Home in Georgetown from 6-8 PM with a Wake Service commencing at 7 PM, Wednesday, September 12 in Georgetown. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Mary's on Thursday, September 13 at 11 AM with interment at Elmwood Cemetery following.
