Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Helen Kay Walters, of Nappanee, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital at the age of 81.
Born Jan. 12, 1945, in Michigan, she was the daughter of John and Bernice Pearson Salisbury. Helen’s life was a testament to quiet strength, warmth and deep devotion to the family she cherished above all else.
Helen met and married the love of her life, William Walters, on Dec. 19, 1963. Their partnership was a foundation that lasted over six decades, marked by mutual care and support. She approached her role as a homemaker with love, nurturing her household and all who entered it.
Helen’s greatest joy came from time spent with her family and grandchildren, whether it was caring for her husband or attending her grandchildren’s events. Her home was a haven, known for its inviting atmosphere. Friends and family recall her as accepting, supportive and always proud of her loved ones’ achievements.
Helen’s faith was a central pillar in her life. She faithfully attended The Church of Jesus Christ in Pierceton, where she built meaningful friendships. She also found relaxation and joy in crocheting, painting and sewing.
She is survived by her husband, William “Bill” Walters; their children: Sharon (Michael) Duff, William “Willie” (Brenda) Walters and Steven “Joe” (Susan) Walters; as well as her treasured grandchildren: Shawn Michael (Rachel), Noah, Josiah “Joe,” Garret, Jennifer, Justice and Brighty (Wesley); and 10 great-grandchildren. Her brother, Louis Salisbury, also survives her along with many extended family members and friends. Helen was preceded in death by her parents and nine siblings.
Titus Funeral Home, 2000 N. Sheridan St., Warsaw, is entrusted with the care of Helen. Visitation will be held on Sunday, Aug. 2 from 3 p.m. until the funeral service begins at 4 p.m. She will be laid to rest at Oakwood Cemetery, Warsaw.
