Addie Lowe Dunkley Hall
Addie Hall passed away quietly Monday, March 12, 2007,
while staying with her daughter, Suzanne Andrews, in
Peoria, Arizona. Addie was 95 years old and had lived
in Carnation, Washington for sixty-four years.
She was born to Parley and Adelaide Dunkley on June 3,
1911, in Franklin, Idaho. She graduated from Franklin
High School and later earned a degree in elementary
education from Utah State University. On April 3, 1935
she married Charles Leness Hall in the LDS temple in
Logan, Utah. Following his graduation from college,
Leness worked at Carnation Milk Farms for several
years, and then took employment elsewhere in the dairy
business. In 1944, Leness and Addie returned with
their family to Carnation, where Leness was employed
as Sales Manager for Carnation Milk Farms.
Addie was a marvelous mother to her six children. She
always ensured that they knew they were loved. She
taught them high moral standards and stressed the
importance of hard work and a good education. Her six
children all graduated from Brigham Young University,
and several earned advanced degrees. She was always
happiest visiting her children and their families,
whether it was a Fourth of July celebration in
Carnation or Thanksgiving and Christmas in the home of
a loved one. She always had a great kindness and
concern for others, which she readily put to action.
She will be well remembered for her compassionate
service to the elderly and less fortunate members of
the Carnation community.
Throughout her life, Addie was an active member of the
LDS church, and faithfully served in various
auxiliaries of the church. After her children were
grown, she taught first grade at Cherry Valley School,
Monroe Elementary, and Carnation Grade School. Her
husband Leness passed away in 1999, after sixty-four
years of marriage. Addie Hall is survived by her six
children: Brent Hall, Briggs Hall, Glade Hall, Suzanne
Andrews, Drew Hall, Mark Hall, and their spouses,
along with thirty-four grandchildren and sixty-nine
great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at the Allen-Hall
Mortuary, 34 E. Center Street, Logan, on Saturday
March 17, at 2:30 PM. A viewing will be held prior to
services beginning at 1:30 PM. Interment will be in
the Franklin Cemetery in Franklin, Idaho. Condolences
may be sent to the family at Allen Mortuaries.
