Geraldine

Hall

Our beloved Geraldine Edwards Hall peacefully entered eternal rest on Monday, August 22, 2022. She was the eldest of three children born to Earlie and Gladys Edwards, on February 28, 1937, in Gaffney, South Carolina.  She was the Valedictorian of her class at Granard High School in Gaffney, where she graduated in1955.

At the tender age of 19, Geraldine relocated to Englewood, NJ, where she met the love of her life, Joseph (Joe) Hall, her husband of fifty years who preceded her in death. They married in September 1959 and to this union four children were born.  Joe and Geraldine joined Mount Calvary Baptist Church under the leadership of  Rev. Dr. Claybon Lea Jr. Geraldine served on the Nurse's Ministry until her health no longer allowed her to continue.

For 35 years, Geraldine worked at County Manor, located in Tenafly (Family of Caring, Tenafly). This was a full circle, for her last days of life was at the very location in which she was employed.

The last few years, Sister Hall's health was steadily failing, yet few knew the extent to which she struggled.  Her joy for life and her indomitable spirit kept her pushing through until The Father called her home.  She was an active and caring woman who lived most of her life caring for and about others.  She was most comfortable being surrounded with friends and family.

Geraldine birthed five children: Barry Tate (predeceased), Beverly A. Bush, Joseph A. Hall, Debra K. Hall and Michael Hall, who were the center of her joy. Predeceased by her parents and brother, Ulysses Edwards, Geraldine had one surviving sister, Shirley Montgomery of Gaffney, South Carolina.  Along with her children, those left to carry on life and her legacy are grandchildren: Jamaal, Malcolm, and Malik Bush, Gia Hall, Martha Smith and Merci (Pet); great-grandchildren: Malcolm Bush, Kayden Bush, Desmond Cochran and Nova Bush; one brother in-law, Roosevelt Hall (Celeste) and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
