ELIZABETH MAE WALL DRAKE
September 07, 1937 - March 12, 2019
Newsoms - Elizabeth “Liz” Drake, 81, passed away on March 12, 2019 in her 
home where she loved being.  She was born at Parker’s Ferry, NC, on 
September 7, 1937 to the late Lee Wood Wall and Sibyl Burgess Wall.  After 
graduation from Ahoskie High School, Liz married the love of her life, the 
late George “Boone” Drake in 1958 and they resided in Newsoms the rest of 
their lives.  Liz worked several jobs in retail over the years but her true 
love was the farm life and being outside with her various animals throughout 
the years.  She also loved having a garden and flowers.  She would preserve 
the vegetables she grew and was known for her “tater-mater-onion” soup.  She 
also loved walking the fields and woods especially looking for Indian 
artifacts.  Liz and Boone were members of the Franklin Farmers Market for 
years where they enjoyed meeting people and talking.  She was a member of 
Newsoms Baptist Church where she enjoyed working with the children of the 
church for many years.  In her later years when she was no longer able to 
get out on the farm, she enjoyed watching RFD TV and the farm programs.
Liz was predeceased by three brothers, Stanley, Charles, and Jay Wall, and 
three sisters, Kathleen Lassiter, Stella Burgess, and Girlen Pierce.
Liz is survived by her daughter Renea Drake-Porter and her husband Bobby 
Porter, whom she adored.  She is also survived by her brother Allen Wall of 
Elizabeth City, NC, her faithful devoted sister Olethia “Tinks” Taylor of 
Eure, NC, her sister-in-law Florence Wall of Winton, NC, and lots of 
extended family.
A Funeral Service will be held at 3:00 PM, Sunday, March 17, 2019 in Wright 
Funeral Home with Rev. Armand Jalbert officiating.  Burial will follow in 
Hollywood Cemetery in Newsoms.  The family will receive friends Saturday 
from 7-8:30 PM in the funeral home and at all other times at the residence 
of Bobby and Renea, 25495 General Thomas Hwy., Newsoms.   The family wishes 
to thank her caregivers that enabled her to stay in her home, especially 
Dolly Westbrook whom Liz adored and enjoyed for many years.
