Mrs. Helen Irene Johnson Hall, 95, of 1840 Amity Hill Road, Statesville, N.C., passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, August 20, 2020.

Mrs. Hall was born on August 16, 1925, to the late Otis Franklin Sr. and Isolene Whitlock Johnson. She was educated in Iredell County Schools. Ms. Helen first worked in textiles and later worked for Bustle’s Greenhouses for many, many years, where she made numerous friends and shared her love of gardening and the outdoors with everyone. Ms. Helen was also a homemaker, a magnificent cook, and a loving mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother.

On October 6, 1946, Ms. Helen was married to the late Henry Allen Hall Sr., and together they raised eight sons. Ms. Helen was a devout Christian who demonstrated a faith that was strong enough to move mountains. She was kind and generous to anyone who crossed her path, always inviting folks to sit and talk or partake of her delicious, wonderful home cooked meals. Her life is a true witness to all, and there is no doubt that she is now and eternally singing with the saints in glory.

Left to cherish her sweet memories are her sons, Tommy Hall of Abbeville, Ala., David Hall (Carolyn) of Statesville; Henry Hall Jr. (Barbara) of Statesville, Kenneth Hall of the home, Keith Hall of the home; Tim Hall (LeAnne) of Statesville, and Frank Hall (Teresa) of Statesville; 14 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and one great-great Grandchild.
