Family, friends, and colleagues of Becky Walker gathered in her honor on Saturday afternoon, January 4.
Unbeknownst to Walker, she was surprised as she entered the Fellowship Baptist gym. Her daughter, Mallory Bordelon, had organized the party to celebrate her 23-year retirement from the City of Mansfield.
Her family, friends, and several colleagues were among those in attendance. “I don’t deserve anything, but I sure was surprised,” shared Walker. I am very grateful to my friends who took time out of their busy schedules to celebrate with me!”
Walker decided not to run for another term as city recorder/treasurer. She began working for the city in 2000. “I was serving on the city council at the time,” Walker noted. Adding that the clerk and mayor’s office needed help. Later, she worked as a water clerk for 12 years before running for recorder/treasurer.
Walker has served on the Western Arkansas Mountain Frontier (WAMF) board as a representative for Scott County, the Sebastian Retired Citizens Association, Inc. (SRCA), as a Certified Municipal Official, and treasurer for the Arkansas City Clerks Recorder Treasurers Association (ACCRTA).
Among her greatest loves are her church, Fellowship Baptist; her family, and bluegrass music.
