Eleanor Wall Obituary
She was born in Durham County; the youngest of twelve children of the late Walter Eugene Fisher and Daisy Elizabeth Earnhardt. She was a member of Rolesville Baptist Church. She had a career working for Burlington Industries for over 40 years while helping her husband, R.P. run a small tobacco farm. Eleanor was a dynamic person who lived life to the fullest, enjoying everything involving Carolina sports, gardening, caring for her pets, bowling, cooking out, playing cards, dominoes, fishing and golf, in which she achieved five holes-in-one during her lifetime. Eleanor was an excellent cook, with banana pudding, okra and Cornish hen being big favorites. Everyone loved buying her fresh blueberries. She also canned fruits and vegetables, frequently giving away food to anyone. Most of all she loved being generous with her time and talents and laughing with her family and friends.
Mrs. Wall is survived by her sons, Kevin Wall of Raleigh and Timothy D. Wall of Elon; and a brother, James Fisher of Concord, NC.

Dear Kevin and Tim,
I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. Her vivacious energy and humor were always a delight. I have many fond memories of visits from early childhood, through our trip to Nashville, and on into recent years. She was a rock of support for my mother in later years. I don't have your individual addresses, so please forgive communicating this way. I'm sorry we will not be able to attend the service. Meg's dad just died 2 weeks ago after a lingering battle with cancer. We have been pretty much staying close to home through all that, and have just managed to schedule a 5-day getaway for this weekend. My thoughts will be with you on Saturday. I have sent a memorial to Hospice in her honor. She will be long remembered by all those she touched.

Mrs. Wall was one of the kindest, most generous souls I have ever had the privilage of knowing. Her love of family and friends, her soft heart for her pets, her uplifting smile, her zest for life... all characteristics of an exuberant spirit who lived life with dignity and courage in good times and in bad. I loved her very much as a friend and will miss her presence on this earth until such time as I am able to see her again on the other side. May God bless her and her family.
