Frances E. Hall

Frances Hardaway Hall, age 87 of Sherwood, Ark., left our presence here on earth the morning of October 25, 2024 to be with her Lord and Savior. The Apostle Paul tells us we live by faith and he goes on to say that when we leave our earthly body, we are at home with the Lord Jesus. We are confident mom/Mamaw was ready to leave her body and be at home with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:7-8) and to be reunited with her loved ones. 

Frances and her husband Billy were married for 57 years when he preceded her in death in 2016. The two of them started the Deaf Ministry at the Sylvan Hills Church of Christ in 1974 which has blessed the lives of our Deaf Community for 50 years. 

 In addition to Billy preceding Frances in death, their children Pamela Clayton and Danny Hall went to be with the Lord in 2024 as well. Frances is survived by four children, Becky McWhorter (Kevin), Clif Hall, Trisha High (Carl), David Hall (Jessica), 16 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and her sister Linda Taylor. 

Words cannot express our deep sadness, nor can they explain the peace and joy that passes all understanding knowing we will all be reunited in Heaven. Our family would like to give special thanks to our brother David and his wife Jessica for helping care for mom during the last five years by welcoming her to live with them and to care for her. Thank you to all our family who helped care and love on our mother during her extended illness. 

We are also thankful to mom’s church family, the Sylvan Hills Church of Christ and especially the Deaf Ministry members who would send her texts and videos of worship services when she became unable to join them in worship. Thank you all for prayers, visits and love during our sweet mom’s and loving Mamaw’s illness journey over the last five years. 

In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to the Deaf Ministry of Sylvan Hills Church of Christ, 117 West Maryland Avenue, Sherwood, AR. 72120. 

Visitation will be on Wednesday October 30, 2024 from 10:00 am until the time of the service at 11:00 a.m., both at the Sylvan Hills Church of Christ in Sherwood. The family will be together at the Church Fellowship building for a meal following the service. Frances will be buried at the Veterans' Cemetery in North Little Rock at a later date.
