She leaves behind many fond memories that will be cherished by all who knew and loved her.

Survivors include her children, Jan Hall, Bill Hall, III, and Cecelia Eiden and husband Mel; her grandchildren, Garrick Stuart Hall, Amanda Cecelia Eiden and Courtney Renee Neal; four great grandchildren; her sisters, Mary Evelyn Grayson and Beryl Maxine Van Dover; and a host of nieces and nephews.

Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Earl William Hall, Jr.; and her brothers, Garrett Ray Honey and James Quelin Honey.

Pallbearers will be members of the family.

The family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to Ann Racca and Angela Martin, her caregivers, and to the staff of Heart of Hospice, especially Laura and Julie, for their care and compassion.
