Gwendolyn K. Walker arrived in North Las Vegas in 1962 from Houston, Texas, as a five-year-old with her parents, two brothers, and her cousins. The Walker family at first moved to a rented house on D Street, and Gwen attended Kit Carson Elementary School for first grade.

Gwen returned to North Las Vegas to live with her mother and complete elementary school at Jo Mackey before matriculating to J. D.
