Betty Kate Hall passed away peacefully on Dec. 5, 2012 at 3:40 pm, at the age 
of 81, and went home to be with the Lord.

She was the beloved wife of the late Joseph S. P. Hall Jr. 
She is preceded in death by her daughter Ginger C. Hall Jenkins Feiteria, 
sisters; Opal Wiemon, Willette Moffitt, Hazel McClintock and brother Alton 
Cottrell. She is survived by her sons, Joseph the III, Allen, William (Pepe); 
her sisters Mary Lou Hall, Jeanette Kruel, Jewel Campbell, Ruby Ray Monk; her 
brother Raymond Cottrell; 8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.

She was known as "Big Mama" to her grandchildren. Betty was born in Quilan, Tx. 
on March 15, 1931 and graduated from Greenville High School in 1949. She 
married Joseph S.P. Hall Jr. in 1949 and was blessed with one daughter and 
three sons. As a resident of Marrero, La. for 18 yrs., she attended First 
Baptist Church of Marrero, then moved to Folsom, La. in 1973. She attended Red 
Bluff Baptist Church for many years, and later First Baptist Church of 
Covington, where she became active with the Young at Heart, Sunday School and 
the choir. She volunteered her time at the Mary Perkins Cancer Treatment Center 
near the St. Tammany Parish Hospital. She was a member of the Eastern Star for 
many years, and later became a Worthy Matron. Betty was active at the Haden 
Hall Center in Covington, and enjoyed being around those there as well as their 
friendship. One of her favorite past times was to go line dancing. All those 
who knew Betty, said she was kind hearted, unselfish, caring, helping others 
and loved the Lord. As a devout Christian, she prayed for her family, friends, 
those who were sick, our leaders and most important, those who are lost without 
Christ. One of her many joys were reading her bible every day. She loved the 
Lord with all her heart and told others of Jesus' love and how Jesus could save 
them. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends, but it will only be 
for a short time, as we will she her soon in heaven.

Visitation will be at E.J. Fielding Funeral Home 2260 West 21st Avenue, 
Covington, La. and will begin on Friday, Dec.7 at 6pm to 9pm. Relatives, 
friends and those who knew her are invited to attend her services at the First 
Baptist Church of Covington, on Saturday Dec. 8 at 10am, where Pastor David 
Rocket will be officiating.

Interment will follow at the Bogue Falaya Baptist Church Cemetery
