Mrs. Della "Juanice" Robertson Walters, 93, of Ellisville, passed away on December 21, 2020. Visitation at Ellisville Funeral Home will be held on Saturday, December 26, at 1:30 p.m. followed by the memorial service beginning at 2:30 p.m. Burial to follow at Ellisville City Cemetery.

Mrs. Walters was born on January 18, 1927, at the family farm in the Sweetwater community of Jones County, and lived there until her father's death during her teen years. At the age of 14, she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior, and later wrote in her salvation testimony that "peace of mind and fellowship with God is the greatest thing in life." After moving to Ellisville with her mother and sisters, she worked at the Hosiery Mill to help support her family while finishing her high school education. Always displaying a quiet, humble spirit, Mrs. Walters was a dedicated worker, whether she was serving in various positions at her church, caring for her family, teaching in the Jones County School District, or preserving family history through researching and documenting genealogy of both her husband's and her own families. She was the quintessential Proverbs 31 woman and her children (and grandchildren) do rise and call her blessed.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Loammi and Emma Shows Robertson, her husband of 53 years, J.M. Walters, brother, D.M. Robertson, sister, Lexia Campbell Latimer, grandson, Jason Holloway, and granddaughter, Emily Adamo.

Survivors include her 2 sisters, Jean Robertson and Faye Adcock, 3 daughters, Brenda (Harry) Holloway, Marcia (Johnny) Adamo, and Phyllis (Greg) Chancellor, 9 grandchildren, Shanda Holloway Leggett, Scott Holloway, Maggie Chancellor Moore (Nathan), Ethan Chancellor (Crystal), Matthew Adamo, Stephen Chancellor (Kristen), Connor Chancellor, Andrew Adamo and Eli Chancellor, granddaughter-in-law, Amanda Holloway, and 4 great grandchildren Trey Leggett, Jon Luke Chancellor, Joleigh Della Holloway, and Danni Chancellor.

Pallbearers and honorary pallbearers will be her grandsons and great grandsons.

The family requests that honoraria be made to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering at First Baptist Church, Ellisville, or to the mission outreach program at a church of your choice.
