REBECCA J. "BECKY" WALKER OBERLAG, age 70, passed away Feb 8, 2018. Born August 11, 1947, daughter of George W. Jr. and Joyce Cooper Walker, grandparents, George W. Sr. and Eula Allen Walker, W.T. and Vennie Grills Cooper. Preceded in death by her father and grandparents, she is survived by her devoted husband, Ron Oberlag; her mother, Joyce Cooper Walker, Heber Springs; brother, George Sky Walker III, Fairfield Bay; sisters, Linda (Ralph) Hokenson, Heber Springs; Kathy (Larry Arthur) Dobbs, Bartlett TN\; and Susie S. (Richie) Rogers, Heber Springs; as well as her beloved Aunt Lois Walker (Raymond-deceased) Branton, North Little Rock. Becky is also survived by her two brothers-in-law: Randy (Jamie) Oberlag of Chickasha, OK, and Reg (Alice) Oberlag of New York City, NY. She is also survived by three step-children: Jason (Angela) Oberlag, Fayetteville; Don (Felicia) Borin, Little Rock; and Becki Hooten, North Little Rock; along with three nephews: Clifton, Richard, and Joey; and three nieces: Beth, Shari, and Shawn Lee; as well as five grand-nephews: Raymond, Adrian, Michael, Luke and George; and one grand-niece: Airel. Becky was able to hold a very special place in her giant heart for Ron's grandchildren: Austin, Seth (Kaci), Cody, Will (Haley), Beau, Cole, Tony (Kali), Josh and Jessi plus Ron's great grandchildren Cash, Grant, Van and Wren. With many other extended family, relatives and friends, she will be remembered for the love and kindness she generously extended to everyone. Family meant so much to Becky; because of her ancestry, she became a member of the Colonial Dames of the 17th Century. After she graduated from high school, Becky worked for Gus Blass Companies. She later excelled in computer programing and worked for Regions Bank and Baptist Health Medical Systems from which she retired. Becky loved fishing and horses. She and Ron were also enthusiastic supporters of the UALR Trojans, and attended nearly all their home games as members of the Trojan Legion Club (which was named by Becky). Growing up, Becky's church homes were First Christian Church in Little Rock and El Dorado. Becky and Ron attended First Freewill Baptist Church of North Little Rock. Memorials are requested in lieu of flowers and may be made to CARTI Foundation, P.O. Box 55011, Little Rock AR 72215; to the Trojan Athletic Foundation, 2801 South University Ave., Jack Stephens Center, Little Rock, Ar 72204; or to a charity of your choice.
