Shirley May Grant Wall was born on September 18, 1949, to James Garfield and Blanche Church Grant. She was a strong woman who loved the Lord and managed to raise three children, one of which had cerebral palsy, as a single parent. She was feisty and stubborn in the way that only a beloved matriarch can get away with being. Her strong faith and the love she had for her family was apparent in the way she lived her life. Shirley spent most of her career as a manager in a five star restaurant. She was known for her motivation and efficiency. In her down time she enjoyed gardening, and her flowers proved she had the knack of a gardener along with the gift of a green thumb. As a child of the 50s and 60s, Shirley liked the music of that era. She also loved to read, mysteries being her favorite genre. Shirley was a dog lover and doted on Rascal, Pippie, Raven and Big. Shirley, who passed from this life on December 18, 2021, is survived by her children, Brian Wall of Avon Park, FL, Tracy L. Jones of Franklin, NC, and Crystal Green (Bobby) also of Franklin; her grandchildren, Joshua Wall, Casey Jones, Sgt. Brandon Yokley, Brandi Perry, Nicholas Hennequin, and Grayson Jones; her ten great-grandchildren; her brother, Rev. Robert Lee Grant (Georgina) of Statesville, NC; and her very dear friend of many years, Mark Lockwood. She was preceded in death by her parents and her siblings, Patricia Grant and Charlie Grant. A Celebration of Life will be held in Statesville, North Carolina at a later date. Moffitt Family Funeral Care is honored to serve Ms. Wall's family.
