Floy Wall

Mrs. Floy Wall, age 97, and a lifelong resident of Scott County passed away on Tuesday, March 9, 2021 after a brief illness.

Being raised during the Great Depression, Mrs. Wall will be remembered as a person of strong work ethic, a hard worker and for her outspokenness in conversation and demeanor.

A Christian by faith, she held membership with the fellowship of believers at Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church in the Piketon Community.

She is preceded in death by her husband: Earl Z. Wall; her two sons: David Earl Wall and Billy Van Wall; her parents Willie Lee and Eva Belle Sanders Gunn; her siblings:  four sisters: Neely Onalene Weems, Thelma Wilkerson, Rexa Walters and Ima Jean Hollingsworth and three brothers: Houston Lee Gunn, Jimmy Roger Gunn, Sr. and Marshall T. Gunn.

Mrs. Wall is survived by her daughters-in-law: Mary Wall and Catherine Wall, both of Forest; three grandchildren: Ben Wall of Decatur; Marcie Pinson of Little Rock; Joseph Wall of Forest; three great-grandchildren: Madelynn Pinson, Marleigh Pinson and Tyson Pinson, all of Little Rock; a host of nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great- nephews.

Nephews will serve as pallbearers.
