It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Lynda Weissman Walker, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, who left us peacefully on March 12th at the age of 82 after ten years of battling cancer.

Lynda was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on August 17,1942 to Molly and Maurice Shein. She attended Ohio State University and University of Miami before moving to Atlanta with her first husband, Jerry Weissman, in 1964. Her children, Pam and Mindy, were born and raised in Atlanta. In 1981, she married the late Richard Walker sharing a passion for travel, charitable causes, and love for family. She relished every moment as “Grammy” to her grandchildren, Evan and Julia Rosenthal, enjoying Wonderful Wednesdays, trips together as children and adults, and many meaningful meals and conversations.

She was known for her ability to lift others up in times of need, offering a listening ear, a comforting presence, and advice rooted in wisdom. Her legacy is one of deep affection for her family and friends, and her unwavering dedication to Atlanta’s Jewish community. She served on many boards and served in a leadership capacity for numerous organizations including Women’s American ORT, Atlanta Scholars Kollel, Temple Sinai, Temima High School, Davis Academy, Ramah Darom, and Birthright Israel among others.

Lynda is survived by her daughters Pam (Mark) Rosenthal and Mindy Weissman, her grandchildren, Evan and Julia Rosenthal, brother Barry (Cari) Shein, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Molly and Maurice Shein. She will be missed by countless loving, lifelong friends including her mahjong group, study buddies, canasta friends, and the lunch bunch.

Graveside funeral services will be held on Friday, March 14 at 2:00pm at Arlington Cemetery. Donations can be made to Atlanta Scholars Kollel or Temple Sinai.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was a woman of strength, love, and resilience, and she will be deeply missed by all.
