WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with joyful times and
meaningful accomplishments remain to comfort the family and friends
of Linda Gay Galbraith Wall of Magnolia, who passed away on July 20,

her father's work in the oil and gas business, residing in Texas,
Oklahoma, and Kansas, before settling in the Houston suburb of West
University Place, where she attended Lamar High School; as an
active member of the youth ministry at West University Baptist
Church, she met her future husband, Joe Wall; the pair continued to
cross paths due to their involvement in the church, and after years
of blossoming romance, they exchanged wedding vows on August 20,
1960; the couple were blessed with two sons, Scot and Christopher,
and five precious grandchildren, Marissa, Caleb, Angel, Tyler, and
Thomas; and
WHEREAS, Over the course of their 60 years of marriage,
Mr. and Mrs. Wall were devoted partners in life and in ministry;

support her husband while he completed his college and seminary
studies; she went on to minister alongside him at churches and
schools in Texas and in Colorado, and she served as a leader and a
spiritual mentor to a host of women's ministries; she also taught
English at Colorado Christian University while her husband served
as the university's president in the 1980s, and during the
following decade, she became engaged in a worldwide mission
ministry that involved training pastors' wives and other women in
the former Soviet Union; she and her husband later relocated to
Magnolia, where she contributed significantly to the women's
ministry at the new Magnolia Bible Church; and
WHEREAS, Linda Wall was beloved for her steadfast faith, her
warmth and kindness, and her generosity of spirit, and she will
forever hold a cherished place in the hearts of those she leaves
behind; now, therefore, be it
