Joyce Wall Obituary

Joyce R. Wall
January 24, 2012
Raleigh
Joyce Ray Wall of Raleigh, NC, passed away on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at Wake Med Hospital in Raleigh.
Joyce was a wonderful woman, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. All that knew her were blessed with her kindness, graciousness and her beautiful spirit. She was a dedicated volunteer for many organizations and had a passion for golf, entertaining, reading, and above all, her family. She was "Granny" to her grand children, and was happiest when surrounded by her family's love and laughter.
Joyce leaves to cherish her memory, her loving husband Lee T. Wall of Raleigh, NC ; her daughter Susan Wall of Rehoboth Beach, DE; her daughter Sheila Wall Middleton of Lynchburg, VA; and her son and daughter in law Tom and Gloria Wall of Raleigh, NC; and four grandchildren, Josh Middleton of Annandale, VA, Jay Middleton of Lynchburg, VA; Lee Wall III and Shelby Wall of Raleigh, NC; and great-grand daughter Aubrie Weschke Middleton of Lynchburg, VA. In addition she is survived by her dear sister, Annie Fry of Camp Hill, PA.
The family would like to thank the dedicated staff at Wake Med for showing such kindness and compassion during our time of need.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 22718, Oklahoma City, OK 73123 or www.cancer.org.
The family will receive friends Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. at Renaissance Funeral Home in Raleigh. A memorial service to celebrate Joyce's life will be held on Saturday at 5 pm at Renaissance Funeral Home.
There will also be a celebration of Joyce's life in Roanoke, VA at a future date.

Joyce was a most gracious, accomplished epitome of the true Southern lady, talented in so many areas.
Joyce is missed by all.

Joyce was someone who exhibited all the qualities of a southern lady. Herman and I always enjoyed being in her company thorough the years; she made you feel at ease and special. I was shocked and sadden to hear of her passing. You have my deepest sympathy.

Dear Lee and family,
I was saddened to learn of your wife's passing. I read the notice in the Roanoke newspaper. Just wanted you to know that you and family are remembered by past friends in Bristol. May the peace of God enhance your loss knowing that God's grace is always sufficient. God bless you!

Dear Tom,

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I know she had to be a wonderful person just by the fine man she raised you to be. Please know that my wife and I will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Sincerely,
Bill

Dear Lee, Susan, Shelia, Tommy, and family: we are heartbroken for you as well as ourselves. She was a gift to all who knew her. We are proud to call her friend. I had a great conversation with her last week as we were making plans for her to visit along with another friend just as soon as we returned from this trip. Being out of the country on a special trip for Garnett's birthday saddens us as we are not "here" and can't be there. She has been our main topic as we talked about the memories and all the fun. This is so hard and I can only imagine the pain for you. She went home just as Garnett and I were toasting her on his birthday. Love you and will plan to be there for the Roanoke memorial. My home and condos will be available to you.

Garnett and Patsy
