Joan Hall Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Caudle-Rutledge-Daugherty Funeral Home on Dec. 8, 2025.
Joan Elizabeth Hall departed on December 6, 2025, leaving behind the grand love of her life, John Anthony Hall, whom she married in the summer of 1984.

She was born in Dallas, Texas, on March 12, 1958, the sole daughter of Willie Theo and Florence Lorraine James.

She lived almost the entirety of her life in close proximity to Lindale.

In addition to John, she leaves a brother, Walter F. James; nieces Jessica James and Alta O'Connor; grandniece Anna Etheridge and her husband, Evan; grandniece Lilly James; grandniece Olyvia Pride; grandnephew Griffon James; and great-grandnieces Harper Lorraine James and Delilah June Marie James.

She was preceded in death by her parents and by Anna Lorraine James, a niece.

She was a published author, producing primarily novels of suspense and mystery. She loved cats, and she adored the Beatles, particularly George.

She is greatly loved; she is sorely missed.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
