Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Marie Brooks Wall, 68, of Granite Quarry, NC passed away surrounded by her loving family on November 9, 2025 at home.
Born July 13, 1957 in Cabarrus county, NC, Marie lived life to the fullest. In her early years, she learned to love the outdoors, hunting and fishing with her dad. She was a true country girl with a little class.
She is survived by her soulmate and husband, Jerry Wall; children, Crystal Sams (Darren), John Absher (Jennifer), and Cindy Crisler (Ben); grandchildren, Morgan, Katelyn, Elijah, Kyndell, Emmie, and Micaelyn. She was also survived by her best friends, Tony and Teresa Barringer.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Cyrus Brooks Jr and Evelyn Smith Brooks.
Marie and Jerry spent a wonderful 38 years together. They traveled all over in their camper with their dog, Daisy. She was an excellent fisherman and could out fish anyone. Marie was also an excellent cook and could make anything delicious. She also had a very artistic side, always making things for her family and friends. She always put everyone else first in her life. Her most proud moments were those spent with her family and friends, some would say she was the life of the party.
A Celebration of Marie’s life will be held 2:00pm Saturday, November 22, 2025, at Lake Community Church with Pastor Ronnie Pinyan officiating. The family will receive friends and family starting at 1:00pm.

Marie was an inspiration. She handled her diagnosis with courage and grace. I am proud to call her a friend. She will be missed by the members of the AL Brown Class of 1975
Susan Frye Irvin says
Marie was such a sweet friend and classmate. Always happy and smiling. I sat at the table with her and Jerry at our class of 75 reunion 3 years ago and got to visit and talk to them.
I was in Brownie scouts with Marie back in 1963 and 1964. We all use to have the best time.
My prayers go out to Jerry and all the family. May our Lord touch all of you and comfort you and bring you peace.

Some of my best memories were spent on family/friends trips to the beach every July while I was growing up. I remember Marie being so happy, laughing, and friendly. She was truly the life of the party! She will be missed, but I am so glad to have called her my friend!
