Annie "Marie" (Allen) Hall

Annie “Marie” Allen Hall was born August 12, 1929, in St. Peters, North Carolina to William Allen and Jennie Allen. She was the seventh child of nine children.  Annie, more commonly known as ‘Marie’ grew up, as she would say in “The Country”. She began her education in Lexington and continued at New Goshen, later renamed Rena Bullock. Marie graduated from Dudley High School as an AB honor roll student in 1948. She attended Maco Beauty School and began work as a cosmetologist. That same year, she married Will Alexander Hall. Throughout the years, together, they had seven children.

Marie not only found interest in cosmetology, but she also later transitioned to working at Burlington Industries as a lab technician. She eventually retired from Precision Fabrics.

While being a devoted wife and mother, Marie always made time to serve the Lord. As a young child, she grew up walking to church where she attended St. Peters UMC, Celia Phelps UMC and later, St. John Baptist Church. She dedicated her life to ministry by serving as the missionary president, vice president of the deaconesses, Sunday school teacher, head of the church planning committee, head of the food committee and member of ward number 2.

Marie was diligent in her work in the community as well as at home. She cooked meals for her family and raised her children to love the Lord and do right. Her home recipes were used at Stephanies restaurant where the best home cooked meals are served. In her social time, Marie managed to connect with other ladies and joined a group called the Sunflower group. A sunflower symbolizes loyalty and adoration. It is associated with the sun and referred to as being happy and the perfect bloom for a summer flower. Marie was loyal to her husband, her family, in her community, and in her ministry. She was a ray of sunshine and greatly adored by ALL who knew her.
