She was united in Holy Matrimony to John Walker in March of 1999. She accepted Christ in her early childhood years. She was a woman of strong faith, the backbone of her family and a blessing to anyone who came in contact with her. When we think about Vanessa, words that come to mind are faithful, selfless, abundance of energy, bright charitable, provider and a fighter. She worked at the Monticello School District for 20 plus years and later retired in 2013.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Oscar James and Freddie Mae Frye and son Yustin Jordan, Jr. She leaves to cherish her memories, her husband, John Walker; sons, Yustin (Shemika) Jordan and Jahmad Jordan; one daughter, Angela Shaw; three sisters, Acquanetta (LeRoy) Martin, Gloria Cross and Dorisey Frye; four brothers, Oscar Frye, Jr., Calvin (JoAnn) Frye, Frankie Frye and James Frye; grandchildren, Keana Shaw, Hakeen Shaw, Jadyen Loudermilk, Autumn Jordan, JaQues Jordan, Paige Jordan and Dillion Jordan; one great-grandchild, Kyan Franklin; and several nieces, nephews and friends.
