She was born in Cass, W.Va., on July 28, 1917, to Dr. Uriah and Laura Hannah. The fourth of five girls, she graduated from Madison College in 1939 and moved to Gloucester where she was employed as a teacher for two years.

In addition, she taught Bible school, was an active member of the Corr Sunday School class, the VIPs, and the W.M.U. She was also a member of the Gloucester Women's Club.

Dear Mr. Hall,
I was saddened to read of the passing of your lovely wife. You might say, I am a 'voice from your past'.
I was a Sales Counselor for GE and called on you at Broaddus & Hall.
Just wanted to express my sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Friends, my husband, Gerald Thompson Shrader, lived in Cass from 1937-1945. He remembers Dr. Hannah's house, and playing with children there, probably Mrs. Hall's grandchildren. He has happy memories of your wonderful family. Our sincere sympathy on the loss of this lovely lady. Gerald and Natalie Shrader, Yorktown,Virginia.
