MaryLynn “Lisa” Hall
MaryLynn “Lisa” Hall, 66, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, passed away peacefully at her home on March 10, 2024, with her family beside her.
She was born on June 23, 1957, on Lookout Mountain, Tn., to Robert Williams, Sr. and Marion B. Williams-Williams.
Lisa loved the Lord and was baptized at First Baptist Church of Lookout Mountain, Tn. at a young age and remained a member there until she later joined Resurrected Baptist Church under the pastorate of Elder Eddie Jacks. She served faithfully there until her passing.
Lisa attended Lookout Mountain Elementary School. She was a proud graduate of Kirkman Technical High School, class of 1976, and a graduate of Miller-Motte College as a surgical tech. Lisa’s favorite pastimes were playing bingo, design decor and gardening. She was known as the “green thumb” sister of the Williams’ girls coming up, a gift Lisa inherited from their mother Marion. Lisa’s contagious smile, outspoken voice, and humorous personality attracted many around her. She loved her family very much and they loved her.
She will truly be missed.
