Bishop Hall

HALL, Bishop Donald Ray - age 80 of Nashville TN. This man of God served as pastor over 48 years to seven congregations in TN. Since his retirement, he faithfully served at his home church, The Church of God at Antioch, TN, where he was revered and adored. There he continued to minister by copying and mailing sermon CDs to hundreds of homes. Affectionately referred to as "Dede", his family and close friends looked forward to receiving birthday and Christmas cards that he lovingly created on his home computer. He enjoyed photography of nature and making family photos. Being a musical family, memories will be treasured of when the family would sing together at dinners and holiday gatherings. This loving father, caring shepherd, spiritual leader and mentor, and great man of character, will be deeply missed by all who knew him and have been forever changed by his legacy of faith. Preceded in death by loving wife, Barbara Jo "Nannie" Hall and son, Chester Joseph Hall. Survived by daughters, Rebecca Watts and Lillian Hall-Ott, 10 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, 5 great-great-grandchildren, daughter-in-law Susan Hall, daughter in the faith Autumn Anderson of MN, brother Melvin Hall of Jamestown, KY, sister Nell Linville of Lexington, KY, dear friend Corinne Davenport, and a host of other family and friends. Visitation will be Tuesday August 21, 2013 from 2 PM to 8 PM, Wednesday August 22, 2013 at 9 AM followed by funeral service at 11 AM at HARPETH HILLS FUNERAL HOME AND MEMORY GARDENS 9090 Hwy. 100 Nashville, TN 615-646-9292
