Samuel Hugh Walker, 74 of Rocky Mount passed away on Wednesday, July 6, 2022. Our hearts ache for our father, husband, brother, friend and hero. Daddy left us after a courageous battle of health issues. We want the community in Franklin County and Rocky Mount to know that daddy loved what he did as part of the Franklin County and Glade Hill Rescue Squad. He dedicated over 50 years of service and memories to help others. He also spent close to 34 years with G.E. in Salem and continued his rescue training with the company and Union 161. We will deeply miss him, as well as his work family and friends he met along the way.
He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Thelma Walker; his daughters, Theresa Camm, Denna Walker, Donna Smith; one son, Sammy Walker; grandchildren, Jonathan Walker, Alex Camm, Samantha Morris, Dakota Walker, Mason Walker, Gabriel Walker; great-granddaughter, Catori. He is also survived by his sisters, Jane Hodges, and Charlene Belliveau.
We would like to thank the staff of Franklin Health and Rehab and Raleigh Court Nursing Home for their patience and service with helping daddy. Also thanks to Conner-Bowman for their assistance as well. Per his wishes, there will not be a funeral service.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like for you to consider memorial contributions in Hugh's name to either the Franklin County Rescue Squad or the Glade Hill Rescue Squad.
