Rest In Peace: Haleigh Hall


I came across this through the Heartland Community College newsletter. I didn't know Haleigh, but she's the kind of person that I wish I did. Life is short. To live it energetically and with a generous smile is, in my opinion, to please God. The world can always use more people like her. Rest in peace.

CARLOCK — Haleigh Em Hall, 25, Carlock, died Sunday (Sept. 16, 2012) following an auto accident in rural Danvers.

Her funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at Carlock Christian Church, with the Rev. Jason Collins officiating. Inurnment will be at Hackleman Cemetery, Chrisney, Ind., at a later date. Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Calvert & Metzler Memorial Home, Bloomington.

Memorials may be made to the Special Olympics of Illinois, 605 E. Willow St., Normal, IL 61761.

Haleigh was born on July 25, 1987, in Normal, the daughter of Richard Wayne and Janet L. Burden Hall. Surviving is her mother, Janet Hall, Carlock; a sister, Heidi Hall, Carlock; a loving dog, Tilley; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends who dearly loved her.

Her father preceded her in death.

Haleigh was a 2006 graduate of Normal Community West High School where she was active in student council and the symphonic band. She received her associate’s degree from Heartland Community College, Normal, and was near completion of her bachelor’s degree from Kendall College, Chicago.

She was baptized in the Carlock Christian Church where she was a member and also attended Eastview Christian Church, Normal. She was also a member of the Pyrotechnic Arts Guild International and had been a cast member of the American Passion Play in Bloomington for over 10 years.

Haleigh worked at Yoder’s B/P service station in Carlock and Scribbles Center for Learning in Bloomington. She had also worked at Heartland Child Development Lab for five years.
Haleigh was very caring and had a special love for teaching little children. She had an infectious smile and with that, kept us laughing. Her loving heart endeared her to her family and many, many friends.
