I suspect she was born Delania Hill. Ancestry has records for Delania Hill in Pontiac, the daughter of Matthew Alexander Hill and Juliette Hill (born Slaughter) who was age 8 in the 1950 census. Given the rarity of Delania as a name and the coincidence of both location and mother's first name this looks like a good match. Where the name Walker comes from I do not know. Both parents died in the late 1990s but there were many siblings and some may still be living.
This does not take us much further but may help in locating a marriage and as a pointer to possible name variants.
