Joy Wall, age 85, of Plymouth and Empire, Michigan, died April 16, 2016. She was born on October 8, 1930, to Julius and Gaynell Tulley in Connersville, Indiana.

Joy Wall was born in Connersville, IN and raised in Liberty, IN. She got her diploma in Nursing from St. Vincents School of Nursing in Indianapolis, IN. All three of her sisters (Sisters!) also became nurses. She married Dean Wall, the only love of her life, in 1954. They moved to Plymouth, MI in 1957, and built Cherrywood Golf Course in Ottawa Lake, MI. But her pride and joy was the Dunes Golf Course in Empire, MI, that they built together and she managed for 30 years, well after Deans death in 1984. She was an active member of OLGC, the Plymouth Registered Nurses Club, and the Glen Lakes Womens Club. She loved to play bridge with her friends, and Euchre with her family. There will be a Memorial Golf Tournament held at the Dunes Golf Course in her honor at a future date.
