Life Walker was born in 1900 in Crumpsall in Manchester. Her parents were George Edward and Mary Alice Walker. She went to school at Blackburn High School for Girls.

She travelled for a year before beginning three years of lecturing at the Royal Holloway from 1928 to 1931 and then she does not appear to have taken paid work until she became a librarian in 1939.
