Today, my Mum and I visited Woronora Cemetery in southern Sydney. We visited the graves of my maternal grandparents, John Joseph WALTERS (1905-1970) and Lily Anne KINGSBURY (1902-1996), as well as my great Uncle Tom's grave, Thomas WALTERS (1909-1975), and my great Aunty Grace's grave, Grace O'LOGHLEN, nee WALTERS (1907-1992), and her husband's grave.
John Joseph WALTERS, Grace WALTERS and Thomas Gregory WALTERS were the three children of John Joseph WALTERS (1871-1935) and Margaret FLEMING (1866-1939).
John ("Jack") Joseph WALTERS, my maternal grandfather. I remember him as a very friendly, family-focused man who also loved his garden. He was a great lifelong friend to his brother, Tom and was a lovely, fun-loving grandfather to us.
My "Grandfather Walters" died on 5 May 1970. On 8 May 1970, he was buried in the Roman Catholic Lawn Section no. 3 of Woronora Cemetery at Sutherland in Sydney in grave no. 165, next to his wife Lily Anne WALTERS, nee KINGSBURY (1902-1996).
Lily Anne WALTERS, nee KINGSBURY, my maternal grandmother, was a beautiful, wise and graceful woman who was kind and generous to all she knew and didn't know. She was and is a great inspiration to me.
My "Grandma Walters" died on 17 June 1996. On 20 June 1996, she was buried in the Roman Catholic Lawn Section no. 3 of Woronora Cemetery at Sutherland in Sydney in grave no. 165, next to her husband John Joseph WALTERS (1905-1970).
Grace WALTERS, my great-aunt. I remember her as a talkative aunty who often went on day trips with my "Grandma Walters".
My "Aunty Grace" died on 1 January 1992. She was buried in the Roman Catholic Lawn Section no. 3 of Woronora Cemetery at Sutherland in Sydney in grave no. 0762, next to her husband Anthony O'LOGHLEN.
Thomas Gregory WALTERS, my great-uncle. I remember him as a loving uncle who was known for saying, "Take your time". He was generous, gentle and loved his family.
My "Uncle Tom" died on 2 May 1975. On 5 May 1970, he was buried in the Roman Catholic Lawn Section no. 3 of Woronora Cemetery at Sutherland in Sydney in grave no. 1532, not far from his brother (John Joseph WALTERS) and his sister (Grace O'LOGHLEN, nee WALTERS).
