Passages

Compiled by: Rev Sue Murphy

Edith Hall passed away peacefully at home on June 17, 2025, with her children by her side and the cat curled up next to her. A lifelong Sanford resident and third generation of her family to live on Charles Street, Edith told Gene that he’d never get her off that street—and he didn’t. She was a steady, familiar presence in the neighborhood, always quick to chat from her porch, wave to a passerby, or share something from her garden. She planted lavender near the sidewalk so neighbors could enjoy the scent and shared her homegrown berries with the local kids. Edith began working as a hairdresser when she was just a girl, assisting her brother Paul in his salon. She carried that love for her craft through a lifelong career in hairdressing. She was also a devoted wife and caregiver. Even while facing her own battle with brain cancer, Edith selflessly took care of Gene until he passed away this past March. Their bond was truly special. She is survived by her daughter, Sheri Hall-Miller, and her husband Raymond Miller; her son, Jason “Jake” Hall; her sister-in-law, E. Geralyn “Geri” Hall and her husband David Pasinski; her brother-in-law, John Thomas Hall, and his wife Joy Hall; her sister-in-law, Pauline Legere; and nieces, nephews, and extended family. She is also survived by her beloved cats, Little One and Fritz. She found joy in simple pleasures: tending her garden, fussing over her cats, and forming bonds with neighbors. She was determined, loving, and unwavering in her care. A celebration of Edith’s life will take place at the Walker Funeral Home in Springvale on June 30 from 4 to 6 pm. Family and friends are invited to share their stories and enjoy light fare in her memory. https://conroytullywalker.com
