Amelia Lucile Allred Hall, 96, of Cleveland, Tennessee, died on Friday, July 3, 2015 in her residence after a brief illness.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Rev. H. Richard Hall; her sister, Klinworth Nichols; and her nephew, Henry Edward Nichols.
Amelia Hall was born to the late Henry and Amelia Allred in Waynesville, North Carolina on October 7, 1918. She lived near her mother’s family at Lake Junaluska, North Carolina. She was influenced greatly by the Liner family, especially her dear uncles Hubert, Lucius and Jerry Liner.
In 1938, after graduating from high school Amelia met the man who was to be her husband and ministry partner throughout her life, H. Richard Hall. After spotting him in a crowd and being drawn to him, she later met him in several church services and he too was hopelessly smitten with the young, vivacious dancer, Amelia Hall.
On June 4, 1939, Amelia and H. Richard were united in marriage. This devout couple tirelessly carried the Gospel of Jesus Christ the remainder of their days.
Amelia was cofounder of the United Christian Church and Ministerial Association, headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee with over 35,000 ministers world-wide. Until her death she remained a prayer warrior, lifting up the ministry in prayer daily and praying with those who called for prayer by phone. Her undergirding prayers will be greatly missed and she will be truly missed by her family and close friends.
Survivors include Don and Ann Warren, who were like her own children, of Cleveland; her nephew, Tommy Nichols of Waynesville, NC; her deceased nephew’s widow, Maxine Nichols; and several other nieces and nephews.
The funeral will be Tuesday, July 7, at 2 p.m. from the United Christian Church with Rev. Larry Nix and Rev. Keith Nix officiating. Pallbearers are Mike Chapman, Tim Emerson, Patrick Hayes, Steve Logan, Greg Lowery and Mitchell Rhoden. Interment will be in the Hilcrest Memorial Gardens.
Mrs. Hall will be at the Church from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesday, July 7. The family will receive friends at that time.
Companion Funeral Home has charge of the arrangements.
