Lydia Hall Law
12/06/1948 - 09/06/2024
Lydia Hall Law went to heaven on September 6, 2024. She was born on December 6, 1948 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Lydia was always a minister to those around her, and as a grandmother, a mother, a wife, she had a true servant's heart.
Lydia graduated with a degree in Religion from Wake Forest University, then worked in administration at Cameron Brown in Raleigh, then after moving to Houston, at Bank of the Southwest and Baylor College of Medicine. During her entire married life, she was a member of South Main Baptist Church, serving in many leadership roles primarily in the areas of missions and ministries. She sang in South Main's Sanctuary Choir for well over four decades and was ordained as a deacon soon after South Main began ordaining women as deacons.
Lydia was predeceased by her mother Alma Woodley Hall and her father Joseph Thomas Hall. She is survived by her husband, Samuel William Law II, MD, her son Samuel Todd Law and his wife Charla Smith Law, and their sons Luke Samuel Law and Lane Charles Law, all of whom reside in College Station, Texas, as well as Lydia's sister Alma Jo Langston of Charlotte, North Carolina. Additional survivors include brother-in-law Richard Law and sister-in-law Sherry Law and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Lydia's family would like to recognize and thank the staff at the Liver Transplant service at Houston Methodist Hospital. In addition, the last week of her life was made more comfortable and peaceful by the staff at Houston Hospice. Most of all, Lydia's family wishes to thank the members and staff at South Main Baptist Church who have cared for Lydia and her family for more than 50 years.
A memorial service to celebrate Lydia's life will be held in the South Main Baptist Church sanctuary on Friday, September 13 at 11:00 a.m. Instead of floral tributes, Lydia's family suggests donations to either South Main Baptist Church Foundation, 4100 Main St, Houston, Texas 77002, financialoffice@smbc.org, or Houston Hospice, 1905 Holcombe Blvd., Houston, Texas 77030, www.houstonhospice.org.
