ATLANTA CONSTITUTION
Virginia Elively McAllister Hall, 94 of Fort Gaines, died peacefully on April 
8th after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer's disease. She was the 
wife of the late J.H. "Red" Hall Jr. of Newton and daughter of the late R.C. 
and Susie McAllister of Fort Gaines. Miss Virginia of "Ginger" as she was 
affectionately known, grew up in Fort Gaines, attended Georgia State College 
for Women in Milledgeville, and then returned to Fort Gaines where she taught 
second grade until she married Red Hall in 1940. Red Hall worked for the Coca-
Cola Co., and he and his new bride resided for short periods in Chicago, 
Jacksonville, Denver and St. Louis before returning to their beloved Georgia 
in 1948. They settled in Decatur where Ginger and her beloved "Red" continued 
their productive and giving lives, while raising their son, Jimmy. She was an 
active member of the Decatur Presbyterian Church as well as many civic 
organizations. In later years Miss Virginia returned to two of her life's 
greatest joys, children and teaching, taking a position as a kindergarten 
teacher at the Medlock Presbyterian Church where she happily taught for many 
years. In 1995 "Ginger" returned to Fort Gaines and her beloved family home 
where she spent her remaining years surrounded by her loving family and 
friends. She was a faithful member of the Ft. Gaines Presbyterian Church. She 
was predeceased by her very dear sisters Robbie Hun and Annie Susie, and her 
devoted brother John Turner. She is survived by her loving son, James 
Henderson Hall III of Virginia Beach, VA; her devoted nieces Peggy Brown and 
husband, Buck and Sue Cook and husband Claude, a host of great nieces and 
nephews, her caring friend Bill Cartledge, and her special caregivers Ammie 
Williams, Annie Cannon and Doris Wells. A celebration of life will be held at 
the Ft. Gaines Presbyterian Church, Monday, April 11 at 2 p.m. with burial 
following in the New Park Cemetery. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions 
may be made to the J.H. "Red" Hall Scholarship Fund, c/o Mercer University 
School of Pharmacy, 3001 Mercer University Dr., Atlanta, GA. 30341 or to the 
Ft. Gaines Presbyterian Church. We shall miss her sweet sweet smile. Lunsford 
Funeral Home, Cuthbert, GA. 229-732-2148.
