"She Runs Among the Flowers of Heaven"

Nyta Joyce Wall of Claxton went to the arms of her Heavenly Father and joined her husband Pete on January 7th at 11:53 am.

Nyta had a strong work ethic and worked until life slowed her down. From working at a soda fountain as a teenager to running a 50-mile paper route for the Knoxville News Sentinel, she was always busy. She received her associate's degree in accounting and then became a deputy clerk for the Anderson County Circuit Court, retiring after 36 years of service.

Nyta's passions included running and gardening in her yard. You could always find her working outside tending to her flowers, bushes, and trees. She had the most beautiful yard in the spring and summer and was very proud of it as she tended it all on her own. She was also a runner for 40+ years, running in 5K races, and only stopping for ice or snow. Her favorite run was the Alum Cave Bluff trail to Mt. Leconte where she went with Pete, and he would wait for her in the car. She used to race her grandkids around the house and win!

Most importantly, Nyta loved her family and spoiling her grandkids and great grandkids. Holidays were always spent at her house, and these times were full of joy and laughter.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Elmer "Pete" Wall, her son Paul A. Wall, her mother Evelyn Morrow, stepfather Howard Hall, and aunt Maxine Simpson.

She is survived by her son David R. Wall Sr. and his wife Debbie of Claxton, her grandkids Crystal Lawson and her husband Matt, Samantha Wall-Villez and her husband Kris Villez, David R. Wall Jr. and his wife Amber all of Knoxville, Amanda Yeager and her husband Jesse of Claxton, Jason Wall of Missouri, her great grandkids, Nolan Painter, Tyler Wall, Katelyn Wall, Jeremiah Wall, Levi Yeager, Norah Villez, David R. Wall III, and great great granddaughters Vayda Painter and Maleigha Wall.

The family will receive friends from 5-7 pm on Thursday, January 29th at Holley Gamble Funeral Home in Clinton with funeral services following in the chapel. Her burial will follow on January 30th at 1:00 pm at Zion Baptist Church in Claxton.
