Elevlon Walker-Edwards

Elevlon Walker-Edwards was born on September 1, 1945 in Baltimore, MD to the late Gentle Jack Lane. She gained her wings on September 29, 2025, after battling illness. We will miss your smiling eyes, patience, generosity and so much more! At an early age, she confessed faith in Christ and joined the First Baptist Church of Fairfield under the leadership of Reverend Kenneth Harvard where she remained a member until the Lord called her home. Elevlon attended the Baltimore City Public School System and received her Diploma in Business Education and a certificate in Bookkeeping. She then worked in the Baltimore City Public School System from 1967 and retired in 2016 as a Paraprofessional, Computer Lab Manager, IEP Aide (Special Education), received a certificate of Merit for helping with the Summer School Programs. She participated and received a certificate for the Neighborhood Schools for Parents. On September 10, 1964, Elevlon gave birth to her only daughter, Cyrena Walker-Hawkins known as Chee-Baby (Father Willie Walker, known as Toe Bird [Toby]). Elevlon's son, Willie Walker, Jr., known as Little Lumpy, preceded her in death. She was united in holy matrimony to James Edwards in August 1998. He took care of her and made sure she wanted for nothing as they did for each other. Even when she became ill, he watched out for her even though she wanted to be self-sufficient. Her siblings preceding her in death and her two sisters, Sylvia and Jackie Lane and one brother, Jackson Lane, Jr. Nana/Banana/Neener, as her grandchildren called her, loved to cook, eat, talk on the phone, help family and friends, dance, gardening (greens, tomatoes), play softball, plant flowers and work on her 1979 Ford (changing the oil, fixing flat tires, washing and waxing) and watching the Lifetime Movie Network.
