Marilyn Hall

Feb 21, 1938 - May 2, 2023

Marilyn Hall, a local artist and long-time Prince George resident passed away peacefully at University Hospital of Northern BC with her 2 daughters at her side at age 85 (she would hate to see her age written).

Marilyn was born in northern Ontario and moved to Vancouver at age 10. After graduating from high school, she studied at the Vancouver School of Art, today known as the Emily Carr School of Art. She also studied at the Art Student's League in New York City and in Italy at the International School of Art.

She has been drawing and painting most of her life. Her work was ever changing, using a variety of mediums to create new and exciting pieces.

Marilyn married the love of her life Jim Hall in 1963 where they eventually settled in Prince George, BC. They lived happily together and had 3 children, Julie, Jay and Britt. Jim passed away August 1998 after a hard-fought battle with cancer.

Marilyn is survived by her 2 daughters Julie and Britt and predeceased by her son Jay. Marilyn has 7 grandchildren; Caitlin and Tatum (Julie), Kristi-Anne, Kassie and Jake (Jay) and Jessie and Sammy (Britt and Ken) all of whom she loved very much.

Marilyn was an active part of the community, donating time to St. Michael and All Angels Church every Sunday. Marilyn made her famous egg salad sandwiches for the soup kitchen and did art for the church. She was active with the Prince George Senior Center and if you shopped at Costco, in Prince George, you may have seen her on Friday's serving samples offering education on what she was serving.

Marilyn was an out-going, high energy contributor to the community who will be greatly missed by her family and everyone that crossed her path. Marilyn no doubt has found the best light to set her easel up in with the biggest smile!

Thank you to the staff on the Family Medicine Unit at Prince George University Hospital for your care, empathy and compassion, we are truly grateful. Service will be held Saturday July 1st at 1 pm at St. Michael and All Angels Church, Prince George.
