Hi Alan

Patricia Walker married a John MacPherson Orr in Moffat in 1919. Haven't looked at the image, just from the search index and 1 unit...

Alan, can't easily see a death for Patricia Walker/Orr in Scotland unfortunately.

Haven't viewed the marriage entry in 1919, so not sure on her personal details. Maybe something else will come up form general searches  :)

Just searching for a Pat*a Walker in 1901, any age or place brings up this entry:

Jeanie Walker 45 b. Chile
William Walker 17 b. Appr Elect Engineer b. Chile
Patricia Walker 5 b. Greenock, Renfrew
Address: 20 Kelvingrove St., Kelvin, Glasgow

Without checking marriage or death, not sure if this above is relevant for you.

Needs to be confirmed against her MC, if you are confident that the marriage to John Orr Snr is hers...

Had a look on Ancestry and on their WW1 Service Medals & Award Rolls there is a Patricia Walker listed.
She is shown as an orderly who served with the French Red Cross between Aug 1916 & April 1917.
She was awarded the Victory Medal & the British War Medal.No personal details listed.
Could it be your Patricia.
