• Notes

  Brooke Allen Calvert Walker was born March 25, 1941 in Ponca City, OK. The first child of Floyd Allen Calvert, Jr. and Louise (Niemann) Calvert, she spent much of her youth in Olney, Illinois. She passed away peacefully Tuesday, June 4, 2013 at the age of 72. Brooke was a 1959 graduate of Monte Casino High School in Tulsa. She attended Manhattanville College in New York prior to completing her Bachelor's degree in Journalism at the University of Oklahoma in 1962 where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. She cherished the relationships formed at Monte Cassino and OU her entire life. She also attended college in Switzerland in 1960 and later worked at the US Embassy in Paris, as she was fluent in both French and Italian. Brooke married Richard Wallace Walker in 1966 and they had three boys who survive her. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Melissa Taliaferro Calvert. This passage from her 1959 Monte Cassino yearbook describes her best: "Her quiet, unpretentious personality was often charged with humor and forgetfulness. She is good as she is fair." Brooke was very proud of her father and maternal grandfather; both early Oklahoma pioneers. Her father, Allen Calvert was a respected Oklahoma oilman and her grandfather, Dr. George H. Niemann was the first surge on in Ponca City. Brooke was a relentless disciplinarian raising her three sons. As they grew older, Brooke purchased a villa in the small town of Porto Colombo on the island of Sardinia, Italy and enjoyed many summers at her favorite place on earth. Brooke traveled frequently and had residences in Gold Beach, OR; Bonita Springs, FL; Blue Ridge, GA; Payson, AZ. She returned home to Tulsa in 2004 where she loved preparing wonderful meals at the request of many family and friends.
