Mary Lu Walker Singer, songwriter Mary Lu Walker has performed for audiences on three continents, delighting both children and adults. She began writing songs in 1970 about what she knew best - topics that interest and teach children. Today, as always, she sings songs of laughter, of pleasure in living, and of personal dignity and hope. Mary Lu Walker was inducted into the Steuben County, NY Hall of Fame on April 26, 2008. She attended the "2008 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony" at Bath Presbyterian Church in the company of her large family. Mary Lu joins the ranks of earlier inductees including aviator Glenn H. Curtiss, Steuben Glass founder Frederick Carder and philanthropists Fred and Harriet Taylor.

In June, 2007, Walker was honored by The ARTS of the Southern Finger Lakes with its Arts Partnership Award. She was cited for her ongoing work as a community scholar, "exploring the traditions of our area on her own, long before The ARTS had a folk arts program." She has performed in schools, universities, churches, concert halls, and open-air theaters across America and in Fiji, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Australia, Japan, Pakistan, Ukraine and Russia. In 1989, at the invitation of the Children’s Theater of Lviv, Ukraine, she took part in "Children of the Earth," a musical which featured her children’s songs along with those of Serge Banyevitch, a noted St. Petersburg composer. Each year since 1984, Walker has received a Popular Award by the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP). In 1989 she received the Arts Partnership Award from the Chemung Valley Arts Council. In 1994 the Girl Scouts of America honored her together with Astronaut Eileen Collins as “Women of Excellence Today.”
