Frances Leo Hall lived a life full of hard work and family.  She could see the beauty of a field of cotton and clothes hanging out to dry.  She was not a collector of things, but rather she treasured her family and friends.  Grandma always remembered birthdays, anniversaries, and important events.  She spoke of everyone in the area and talked about what families lived where and named their children.  She was a wonderful cook and could make the most delicious meals with simple ingredients and no recipes.  Grandchildren were especially important to her and she happily stepped up to care for them during family troubles or illnesses.  Her life will forever be cherished in the lives of her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by husband, W.O. “Tootie” Hall, sons; Jerry Lynn Hall, Douglas Lyndon Hall, and Clifton Harold Hall, brothers; Homer and Vernon Irvin and sister Johnnie Mae. She is survived by her grandchildren, Douglas Hall, Jr., Angela Foster and husband Ron Foster, Jason Hall and wife Tammy Hall, and Farrah Clayton; Great Grandchildren, Harrison Foster, Lindsey Foster, Gaby Clayton, Amelia Foster, Katlyn Hall, Christopher Hall, and Carly Frances Foster, and numerous nephews and nieces whom she loved.
