February 27, 1945  –  September 16, 2023

NETTLETON – Hubert Ladelle Walls was born in Okolona on February 27, 1945 to James Jefferson Walls and Mary Etta Walls in Okolona. He died at Sunshine Nursing Home in Pontotoc on September 16, 2023. Dale lived in this area most of his life. A character and a man who loved to have good conversation with friends and family, Dale spent 27 years of his life as owner of Walls Exxon in Okolona. He later worked in maintenance for PeopLounger’s in Nettleton and retired from Capitol Bedding where he was involved in every area of the plant. He was a longtime member of Carolina Baptist Church and later in life, was a member of Blue Spring Baptist Church. Dale loved the outdoors and fishing, a good rook game with Debbie, Roger and Margaret and watching westerns especially Gunsmoke.
