Born on Sept. 7, 1935 as the elder of two children to St. John M Hall and Edna (Green) Hall in Providence, R.I. Janet passed away on July 7, 2015. She spent her early years in New-England and attended the Rhode Island School of Design and Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing, where she met a medical student named Bill Appleton. It was love at first sight and they were married on June 27, 1959. In 1963 she and Bill with their growing family relocated to Seattle where, despite their hectic life, she became a talented painter and a gifted author with poems, short stories, and a nationally published novel to her credit. Even through her prolonged final illness she retained her quirky sense of humor. She is survived by her loving husband Bill, brother St. John Merrill Hall of Yarmouth, Maine, 4 children (Bill, Jane, David, and Katherine) and six grandchildren. We will all miss her terribly.
A memorial service will be held at Evergreen Funeral Home in Everett on Friday, July 24, at 2pm.
