Arnissa Marie Walker of Trenton, NJ, was born on October 11, 1966, at Monmouth Medical Center, in Long Branch, NJ, to Constance V. Walker, who was affectionately known to many as Mrs. Connie. She departed this life on Thursday, January 1, 2026. She was well known for her unconditional love that she gave to others, especially children & elders. She worked at Monmouth Park Racetrack & a nursing home facility throughout the years before becoming ill. She loved listening to old-school music and her favorite reggae musician, Baju Banton!

Arnissa loved being in the company of her adopted daughter/grandchildren Ashley Batts, talking on the phone with her Uncle Spike, sister Jeanndra, nephew Ryan, nieces Regina & Renee, and cousin Tara, and being in the company of her Nichols Family. She grew up in an era where the old saying was, "It takes a village to raise a child." Being the baby girl of Connie's 5, Arnissa would beat to her own drum and marched two apartment doors down and invited herself into the family of Ms. Irene Hester & the Nichols Crew: Denise Nichols, Michele Nichols, Wendy Nichols, Taneja Nichols, Marcelle Nichols, and Marlene Roddy. The Nichols Crew had now become "Nichols Party of 7"!

Arnissa was predeceased by her mother and grandmother, Sarah Vyetta Logan Walker; Aunt Cathy "Nee Cee" Walker; sister Sheila Walker; and brother Craig (Billy) Walker.

Left to mourn her are her siblings Jeanndra "GiGi" Walker (Eatontown, NJ), Terrence "K" Walker and Aimee Walker (Florida); nephews Ryan Walker (Eatontown, NJ), Craig D. Gill-Walker (Virginia), and Terrence Walker (Florida); nieces Regina Jones (Long Branch, NJ), Renee Jones-Walker (Brick, NJ), and Lillian Walker (Florida); uncles Spike S. Walker (New York) and Corneilus Walker (Sue) (Eatontown, NJ); aunts Sharon Hanserd (Jackson, NJ), Dulcie Hill (David) (Oak Park, IL), and Eara Walker Woods (Ronald) (Charlotte, NC); special cousin Brian "Speedy" Walker; and her companion, Joseph Colon.

A memorial gathering will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2026 from 11 am until the time of service at 12 pm at the Damiano Funeral Home in Long Branch.
