Carla Dean (Hawkins) Walton
Obituary
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Carla, after a courageous battle with cancer. Carla was born in Oakland, CA and raised on a wonderful farm in Delhi, CA. Carla held many hats in her colorful blessed life; she was a hair stylist, retail store manager. Then following her dreams in interior design she owned and operated Graphfix downtown at Pacific Garden Mall, with locations in Capitola and Los Gatos. Carla loved to decorate, garden, and socialize with her many friends, family locally and at her home in Palm Springs.
Although she is not here with us in physical presence, the beauty and uniqueness of so many local offices have been blessed to have her touch added to their aesthetics.
Carla leaves behind her spouse of 47 years, Eric Walton; her daughters, Carrie Thorpe (David), Erika Walton; two grandsons, Andre (Justine), Jordan; two great granddaughters, Hayden and Hensley; a sister, Kimberly Hawkins-Gore (Howard), her beloved pup, Luna, who never left her side!!
In celebration of a life well lived her daughters will be planning a celebration of life in the coming months.
