Born August 16, 1928 in Bellevue, Pennsylvania she was the daughter of the late Benjamin Kurtz and Gertrude Emsminger Kutz.

After graduating from Bellevue High School in 1946, she went to business school and then worked in New Castle, Pennsylvania where she met the love of her life, Dr. C. Kenneth Hall, who she married on June 23, 1956. While her children were small, she worked as a part-time teacher's aide at Center Avenue Elementary School and Clarence C. Brown Special School. As her children grew older, she took a full-time job at Domestic Relations of Butler County, where she worked for 17 years, retiring in 1993. When restlessness overtook her, she worked as a part-time receptionist for the office of Attorney Gwilym A. Price for several years before finally retiring for good. Despite having severe rheumatoid arthritis, she never lost her sense of humor. In her later years, she kept busy with various volunteer work. She was a member of the Family Selection Committee of Habitat for Humanity's Butler Chapter, a tutor for BC3's Adult Literacy Program; a 40-year member of the Meadowood Bridge Club; a volunteer morning caller for Concordia Telecargivers and an active member of the Hill United Presbyterian Church and the Joann Griffith Circle.
