Gaylon Hall
October 17, 1940 - May 27, 2021

Graveside services for Gaylon Hall were held on Sunday, May 30, 2021, at 3:30 
p.m. at Post Oak Cemetery near Donie. Mr. Don Jones officiated.

Mr. Hall passed away on Thursday, May 27, 2021, at his residence in Teague and 
was greeted in heaven by his beloved wife, Elizabeth Ruth Alldredge Hall, whom 
he shared sixty-one years with, until being separated by her death on May 13, 
2020.

He was born in Donie on October 17, 1940, to Walter & Anna Bell Hall. Gaylon was 
a lover of fishing, camping, and all things outdoors. He could worry a fire like 
no other. Gaylon worked for the BNSF Railroad in Teague as a Conductor and was 
known as “General Electric” to his fellow railroad men. He shared his knowledge 
of the trade with many along the way until retiring after thirty-five years. 
Though, even after retirement, he would still find his way to the yard office 
for coffee and the “railroad rundown”. Gaylon’s love of meeting new people 
extended to Teague’s community, which he called home. He served his community in 
many ways from working elections, to making himself an unofficial “Teague Fire 
Dept. Volunteer”. He enjoyed staying busy within the community whenever possible.

He is survived by three sons, Lynn Hall & wife Ronda of Ennis, Russell Hall of 
Teague, and Wesley Hall & wife Melissa of Mont Belvieu; six grandchildren, 
Deidra Hall of Ennis, Timothy Hall & wife Brittney of Teague, Diane Hall of 
Ennis, Jeffery Fogle of Grapeland, Ronnie Fogle & wife Connie of Bremerton, 
Washington, and Emily Hall of Mont Belvieu; eight great-grandchildren, Austin 
Mason, Krysten Hall, Caleb Hall, Bailey Young, Maddox Hall, Ainsley Hall, Briley 
Hall, and Charley Hall; one brother, Walter Lane Hall of Teague; numerous nieces, 
nephews, other relatives and friends.
