BURLINGTON, NC - Nancy Burton Walker Kistler, 95, passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, October 20, 2021, after several years of declining health.
Born on January 5, 1926, to the late Rosser Loy Walker and Blanche Burton Walker. Nancy grew up in the Stoney Creek Community where she lived most of her life.
