Edward Lee Hall

Edward (Ed) Lee Hall, 75, was called home to God's glory on May 21, 2023. He passed away peacefully at Ray Hickey Hospice House in Vancouver, Washington, surrounded by family. Ed was born on October 4, 1947, to Wilton and Ethel (Rodda) Hall in Hammond, Indiana, where he spent his childhood. Ed graduated from Hammond Tech High School in 1965. He then completed apprenticeship training and worked as an electrician until his retirement in 2003. He was a member of IBEW Local 697 (Lake County, Indiana) until his death. Ed also served proudly in the United States Army from 1971 to 1973, stationed at Fort Hood in Texas. Ed married Patty (Walker) on June 6, 1970. After his military service, they settled in Roselawn, Indiana, where they lived for more than 30 years and raised their daughter in the house they built together. Ed and Patty moved to Washington in 2014 to be near their daughter and her family. They were married for almost 53 years at the time of his death. He was a devoted husband, dad, and grampa, putting his family first...always. He was a caring, funny, and charming man. He never met a stranger and always had a story or joke to tell. He enjoyed golfing, camping, and playing games (Fargo and Yahtzee were family favorites). He loved a Tanqueray gin martini on the rocks with an onion. His two favorite teams were Michigan State and anyone who played Notre Dame...and he'd tell you that every time a football or basketball game was on TV. He was a life-long Lutheran and cherished his time as an elder at St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Hebron, Indiana. Ed is predeceased by his parents; sister (Patricia Brown); infant brother (Wilton); and niece (Colleen Brown). He is survived by his wife, daughter (Heather Hall Lewis), son-in-law (Chris Lewis) and grandson (Daniel Edward Hall Lewis). He had many friends and family in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, California, Oregon, and Washington who will miss his hugs, kisses, and, most of all, laughter. Ed's family and friends will celebrate his life at Evergreen Memorial Gardens in Vancouver, Washington, on June 12 at 10am. All are welcome! A private interment with military honors will follow at Willamette National Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Ray Hickey Hospice House (2112 E Mill Plain Blvd, Vancouver, WA 98661) or St. Matthew Lutheran Church (716 Washougal Rd, Washougal, WA 98671).
