Sharlene Locker Wall, 75, died on Monday, February 10th at her home in Columbus, Georgia.
She was born on July 7,1944 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Harry and Louise Locker. On October
05, 1963, she married the love of her life, Jerry Kent Wall of Phoenix, Arizona. She is survived
by Jerry, their two children Michael Shane Wall (Marie Wall) and Heather Wall Garrett (Todd
Garrett) and five grandchildren.
Sharlene supported Jerry in his long career as an officer in the Army which took them to several
places around the globe from Phoenix to Korea before they retired in Columbus, Ga, their home
for over 40 years. She loved the military and the community it provided her family during Jerry's
many deployments.
Sharlene was passionate about family. Grandchildren Avery, Meyers, Sophie, Camille and Lucy
all enjoyed visiting with Sharlene, playing cards and swimming in her backyard. She loved
entertaining and found much joy in cooking. Sharing laughs, food and wine around the dinner
table with her family was her favorite pastime.
As an active member of her local community, Sharlene volunteered for local programs for many
years. She was also an award-winning needle pointer and skilled oil and acrylic painter. She
played bridge and established long-term friendships with her bridge and needle-point groups;
she often spoke of the cherished support they provided throughout her years as a mother and
wife. Her other passions included Clemson football, her cat, Leo, and Jeopardy.
At Sharlene's request, a private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations to the
Wounded Warrior Family Support ( www.woundedwarriorfamilysupport.com ) in honor of her
husband's service or a donation to the Alzheimer's Associations
