Fay L. Hall passed away June 22, 2019, at Kennybrook Village in Grimes, Iowa. She was born on April 16, 1929, to her parents Lynn and Violet King.
Fay grew up in Des Moines and went to school on the North side of Des Moines. Later, they moved to the South side where she graduated from Lincoln High School.

Fay enjoyed gardening and bird watching. She always had several flower pots in the house, a garden or two outside, and bird feeders out in the winter. Fay also enjoyed evening sailing with Jim as long as there was bird watching involved.
Fay was a member of a garden club, Joy Group, and Get Together to Talk Group, all of which she attended regularly. She was also a member of Johnston Evangelical Free Church, now NorthPoint Church.
In addition to her loving husband, Fay leaves three sons, Lynn Hall and his wife Shirley, Merle Hall and his wife Marsha, and David Hall and his wife Paulette Singley. They will miss her greatly since she has been a loving and caring mother to them for many years. She is also survived by 7 grandchildren 9 great-grandchildren, and her sister, Leta (Al) Smith.

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your loved one, Mrs. Fay Hall, may the "God of all comfort" be with you and help ease your pain. He has promised to reunite us with our loved ones by means of a resurrection. John 5:25-29, "...the hour is coming when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God....and come out to a resurrection of life." I hope these verses bring you some comfort.

To Merle and Marsha and the rest of your families,
We are thinking of you and your loss. It's never easy to lose a parent or for your father to lose his spouse of 69 years. It sounds like she lived a wonderful life, spread joy, and loved nature. How good is that! Our sympathies, Frank and Sheena Thomas
