She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank (Bob) Hall; her mother, Lucille Thompson; father, Sherman Thompson; and a brother, Jimmy Thompson.

Betty Hall was a third-generation homesteader on Orcas Island. She was born in Deer Harbor and raised in Deer Harbor. She went to school in Eastsound and attended some college in Seattle which is where she met Frank Hall. They were married in Deer Harbor at her parent’s home. Betty and Frank lived in Deer Harbor until 1962 when they moved to the current home on the northeast end of Turtleback Mountain.

Betty followed in her mother’s footsteps with a career at the Eastsound Post Office. She retired in 1996 and followed that by working at Island Hardware and Supply until her death.

She was an avid quilter and was willing to teach anyone or help anyone quilt. She enjoyed showing her work to anyone interested and loved sharing her work throughout the community.
