Jamie Walker-Buxbaum

Jamie Walker-Buxbaum, age 42, passed away peacefully surrounded by family members on September 19, 2023, in Lexington, Kentucky, after a courageous battle with breast cancer.
Jamie was born on August 4, 1981 in Corbin, Kentucky to Ray Edward and Barbara Walker.
Jamie lived in Kentucky until she moved to Saint Petersburg, Florida in 2010. There she resided with her loving husband, Walter Buxbaum and sweet pound puppy, Lucy.
Jamie held an elementary education major from Eastern Kentucky University. She is also an Alpha Delta Phi Alumni. Though Jamie never had children, she devoted most of her life to caring for other children.
Jamie is survived by her husband, Walter Buxbaum of Tampa, Florida; grandmother, Jackie Childress of Williamsburg, Ky; sister, Kyra Gambrel and husband, James of Corbin, Ky; sister, Amy Bronski and husband, Darren of Lexington, Ky; nephews, Alec Gambrel and wife Ashley, Ryan Gambrel, and Kolby Gambrel; nieces, Sophia Bronski, Hadley Bronski and Abby Bronski.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Barbara Childress Bunch; father, Ray Edward Walker; and grandfather, Earl Childress.
Jamie will be remembered for her infectious laughter, her bright smile and her love for her family and God. She never met a stranger and was a wonderful friend to many.
The family would like to thank Bluegrass Hospice of Lexington for the tender care they provided Jamie in her final days. We would also like to thank all those who visited her, prayed for her and supported her family during our saddest moments. May Jamie’s life be a reminder for all that knew her to love unconditionally and to live each day in the goodness of God.
