DOROTHY MAE HALL

Dorothy Mae Hall , 1942-1999, Love for others with godly wisdom, boldness, and kindness as a faithful completer of others....

Dorothy Mae Hall Women's Center is honored to bear the name of a compassionate, kind missionary who began her life in low country Midway, Georgia.

Mrs. Hall was blessed with an extraordinary ability to connect with people. This gift served her well throughout her too-brief life, not only in her relationships with family and friends, but also in her career as a health care worker. Over the years, she worked with the elderly, homebound, abused, and people trying to find their way.

For more than three decades, Dorothy Mae served her community as a missionary. Dorothy was constantly aware of pride and selfishness. She did not think less of self but thought of herself less. She showed true beauty while she was alive. Even though her body has deteriorated; she made investments that would last an eternity.

All who knew Dorothy Mae knew they had a true friend for life, and that she would be loyal and supportive, no matter the circumstances. Dorothy Mae exemplified the ideals of Dorothy Mae Hall Women's Center, which strives to instill hope in and provide direction for hurting, children and their families
