Memorial services for Waletta Joy Medlock, 63, Lawrence, will be held at 2:00 p.m. Friday, June 26, 2020 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Lawrence. Private family burial will follow at Oak Hill Cemetery. Waletta passed away Tuesday, June 17, 2020 at her home.
Waletta was the definition of a free spirit; independent, strong, and willful. She was a courageous and beautiful soul who loved her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, her sisters, and all her friends with a ferocity not beholden to mortality. Waletta’s love will transverse time and space – she will always be here right next to us. She would want us to celebrate her life and to smile, not to mourn her. We are at peace knowing that she is caring for her grandson, Ezra, in heaven.
Survivors include her son, Dylan (Danielle) Medlock, granddaughter, Zelda Medlock; sisters; Kay Rose, Kimberly Miller, and Rita Higgins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bud Thomas Medlock and Mary Jean Medlock; grandson, Ezra Thomas Medlock.
Memorial contributions may be made in her name to Trinity Episcopal Church and may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain Mortuary, 120 W. 13th Street, Lawrence, KS 66044.
My sympathy and prayers. Heidi Gillette

That’s was supposed to say moments I don’t know how to delete it
The last time I saw Waletta , she was a customer service person at Laird-Noller some twenty years ago. I originally knew her as a student when I was at LHS. She had quite the personality and was always upbeat. She always seemed to have a kind word for everyone.We need more like her.
My sweet dear friend, Waletta. You have left footprints in my heart and I will forever miss you. It still seems unreal to me that you are gone. My life was truly blessed because you were in it.
My sympathy to her son and daughter in law. It’s a shame that Zelda didn’t get the chance to know her. Sending my love and prayers to her family.

I will always remember the fun times that our families shared together when we were kids. Our fathers were such great friends and hunting buddies! You always seemed to be smiling and made all of us laugh and have fun. Condolences to all your wonderful family.
I remember Waletta from high school. She was a kind soul. God’s comfort and peace to all of you.
