Bassett and Brownie A. Bassett. Dr. Wall attended the public schools of Winston-Salem and was an honor graduate of Winston-Salem State University. She earned a master's degree from New York University and a Ph.D. from Southern Illinois University (Carbondale). Her love and enthusiasm for teaching, which began in the classroom and continued throughout her career, led her to an assignment as an elementary school principal in Thomasville. In 1966, she joined the faculty of Winston-Salem State University. She became director of Student Teaching and proudly served in that position until her retirement in 1985. Her various honors include the award for Outstanding Teacher of Thomasville City Schools, president of the North Carolina Association of Teacher Educators, President and campus adviser for Phi Delta Kappa and the award for Excellence in Teaching at WSSU. She was also an evaluator of education programs for the State of North Carolina and for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Dr. Wall was an active supporter of her community including social organizations, the Winston-Salem State Alumni Association and Goler Metropolitan AME Zion Church, where she was a faithful member for over 35 years. In addition to her parents, Dr. Wall was preceded in death by her brother, Daniel B. Bassett Jr. She leaves to cherish her memory her loving husband of 53 years, Grover C. Wall; her dear brother, Jethro B. Bassett (Vera); adoring nieces Jean B. Fenwick (Victor), Linda D. Askew (Alphonso), Angela Bassett Vance (Courtney), Dannette Bassett and Lisa Carter; great-nieces and great-nephews Robin and Jonathan Fenwick and Brian, Elise and Alexandria Askew, Slater and Bronwyn Vance; and a host of other family members and friends.
