Letha S. Beall

Letha Beall was born in Excel, Alabama, on February 4, 1924, to Jessie Allen Shumack and Mary Frances Rhodes. She was a long time resident of Tallahassee at the time of her death on September 29, 2016. She was a homemaker who enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and participating in church and volunteer activities. She always made sure family members had a special birthday dinner and loved to prepare meals for friends. She had a special place in her heart for children, including those growing up in her neighborhood.

She was preceded in death by her high school sweetheart and husband of 65 years, John Angus Beall, her son James Calvin Beall and ten brothers and sisters. She is survived by her daughter Madeline Hollon, her much-loved son-in-law Danny Hollon, her grandchildren Lauren Strong Wilderman, William "Will" Strong (Stephanie), Sarah Catherine Beall, Justin Beall (Megan) and Mary Grace Beall, great grandchildren David Matthew Wigley, Baela Strong, Kelton Strong, and Calvin Beall, a brother, Andrew Darius "Doc" Shumack and many beloved nieces and nephews.
