rene Lapping Walt, 91, of
Huntington Woods, died Aug. 3,
2015.
Born in Bloemfontein, South Africa,
to Jack and Bessie Lapping, Irene
attended University of Witswatersrand
before graduating from Athol Crescent
School of Domestic Sciences.
After World War II, she married her
childhood sweetheart, Alec; and they
moved first to England
and then to Rochester,
Minn., so he could
complete his medical
studies before return-
ing to South Africa. In
1961, they immigrated
to Detroit with their
children.
Using her skills as
a home economist,
Irene taught countless
Midwesterners how to
Irene Walt
cook fine French cui-
sine. She was a consum-
mate hostess who enter-
tained generations of medical students
with her own excellent cooking at her
home in Huntington Woods.
Her interest in public art began in
1968, at the request of her husband,
when she embarked on improving the
aesthetics and environment of Detroit
Receiving Hospital, a decrepit down-
town hospital where he had worked.
She begged, hounded and wouldn't
take "no" for an answer. So began her
new career as an advocate for art in
public places. Happily, she and her
husband were inveterate travelers and
combined his medical meetings with
her art acquisitions.
Besides consulting for the new
Detroit Receiving Hospital (a collec-
tion of more than 1,000 artworks),
she worked with the Detroit Medical
Center, the People Mover Art in
Stations Transit Project, the GSA-
commissioned John Chamberlain
sculpture, the Alexander J. Walt
Breast Cancer Center and Henry Ford
Hospital. In addition, she was a pas-
sionate supporter of Pewabic Pottery,
the Greening of Detroit and the
Detroit Institute of Arts.
Mrs. Walt co-authored two books:
one on the art of healing and the other
on People Mover Stations.
As a result of her dedication, she
received numerous awards, includ-
ing the first Heart of Gold Award for
community development in 1973, the
Michiganian of the Year in 1982 and
an honorary doctorate from Wayne
State University in 1988.
In 2003, she was hon-
ored at the 18th annual
ArtServe Governor's
Awards for Arts and
Culture. With great joy,
she continued to work at
Receiving Hospital well
into her 86th year.
Throughout her
vibrant life, wherever she
went, she collected a cir-
cle of interesting friends
and was as generous
with them as they were
with her. She lived life
large, loved entertaining and was one
of the last to leave a good party. She
was a tireless fan of her adopted city,
Detroit, which she predicted would
rise again to its former glory. Nothing
suited her better than dining at a
new restaurant downtown or driving
through Belle Isle.
She was the beloved wife of Dr.
Alexander J. Walt; the loving mother
of John, Steven and Lindsay; moth-
er-in-law to Colin Thomson; the
extraordinarily proud "granny" to Eve
Leonore, Aaron and Jack.
Interment was at Clover Hill Park
Cemetery. Contributions may be
made to Wayne State University
