We are truly grateful to Jeanna and Larry, along with their families, for their continued support of Westfield! Indeed, Larry and the Walker family’s dedication and pride in Westfield truly exemplifies the true meaning of the “Spirit of Westfield”! Three grandchildren are current Hornets: Sophie Walker (9th), Stella Walker (5th), and Knighton Walker (4th). In addition, they have five grandchildren who are Westfield alumni: Cody Walker ‘10, Haley Way Yarbrough ‘10, Gray Way ‘12, Wade Walker ‘15, and Walker Way ‘20. Most recently, Larry, an attorney, legislator, and published author, wrote the forward to the 50th anniversary edition of the “History of Westfield.” He and Janice’s four children are all Westfield graduates: Larry Walker III ‘83, Wendy Walker Way ‘86, Russell Walker ‘89, and John Gray Walker ‘91. He assisted with the original school charter and maintained the corporate minutes and records of the school for decades. Larry Walker, and his wife Janice, have been supported Westfield from its very beginning. She is a well-respected, beloved, and trusted leader who always represents Westfield to the best of her ability.Ĭongratulation to the Honorable Lawrence Cohen Walker, Jr., recipient of the 2022 Spirit of Westfield Award. Jeanna and her husband, Lee Smallwood ‘91, are the parents of two Westfield graduates: Hunter ‘20 and Bishop ‘22. She is a founding member and past president of the Malala Club and is an active member of Perry United Methodist Church, serving in many capacities. Jeanna worked as a kindergarten assistant teacher for several years and is still contributing as a substitute teacher. She served as president of the Westfield Family Organization (WFO) and was responsible for serving the pre-game meal for the varsity football team for both home and away games for many years. Jeanna has supported Westfield for many years through her involvement in volunteering for the Annual Fund, Spirit Shop, and Booster Club.
