Obituary for Nelson Wall
Carl Nelson Wall, 83, of Corinth, MS passed away on Thursday, December 22, 2016 at Mississippi Care Center. He was born in Alcorn County, MS on August 3, 1933 to the late Ulyless Grant Wall and Onie Robinson Wall. Mr. Wall was a veteran of the United States Army and a member of Northside Church of Christ. After serving his country, he served his local community for twenty-two years as a school administrator, then as the superintendent of education in Prairie Grove and Hughes, Arkansas, finally at Northeast Community College where he retired from. People were his passion, and he lived out his belief that knowledge was the best thing he could give them. While Mr. Wall may have gone on, the countless lives he enriched speak to his influence and passion for education; he believed all of his students were his "kids" and nothing made him happier than their success. Visitation is scheduled for Monday, December 26, 2016 from 11 AM - 1 PM at Magnolia Funeral Home. A celebration of Mr. Wall's life is scheduled for 1 PM Monday, December 26, 2016 at Magnolia Funeral Home Chapel of Memories officiated by Charles Curtis and Lennis Nowell with interment following in Farmington Baptist Church Cemetery. Pallbearers include Clint Droke, Thad Fulgham, Robert Williams, Sidney Nunley, Joe Childers, John Hardwick, Jimmy Fowler and Ned Riddell. Magnolia Funeral Home is entrusted with the arrangements. Those left to honor Mr. Wall's memory include his wife of 62 years: Ann Wall of Corinth, MS; his son: David Wall and wife Suzanne of Corinth, MS; his sister: Betty Wilbanks and husband Robert of Corinth, MS; several nieces, nephews, other relatives and a host of friends. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his brothers: James Wall and Russell Wall; and his sisters: Dorothy Gray, Evie Wall, and Allie Mae Wall.
