Mom was adopted and raised by her "Uncle Forest Walling", after her Mother's death (Christine "Scoot" Walling-Franklin) in 1948.
Mom was the only survivor of the 10 Jan 1955 Train Wreck in Grapeland Texas where four other Walling family members were killed. The four members were Rena (Forest Wife), and three of his daughters.
Mom always enjoyed learning about her family's history and sharing it with friends and family members.
