Michelle Hall Obituary

Published by CLOSED-Crosby-N. Gray & Co. Funeral Home and Cremation Service on Jul. 25, 2016.
Our beautiful and beloved Michelle Spencer Hall, 55, passed away peacefully in her home in Burlingame, California on July 25, 2016. Michelle was born January 6, 1961 in Santa Paula, California, the youngest daughter of Stanton and Maureen Spencer, and sister to Kevin (Carol) of Klamath Falls, Oregon; Suzie (Dennis) Marin of Roseville, California; Sandie (Dale) Clendon of Thousand Oaks, California; and Mary Ellen (Steve) Brown of Corvallis, Oregon. Michelle graduated from St. Bonaventure High School in Ventura, California, and moved to San Diego, where she met Anthony Hall, the love of her life. They later moved to Burlingame, where they raised their three cherished children – Savannah, Spencer, and William. Michelle and Anthony celebrated 25 years of marriage in 2015. Always the life of the party, Michelle loved to laugh. She also loved family gatherings, vacations at Lake Tahoe, Fourth of July at Lake of the Pines, and dinner parties with friends. But most of all, she loved her husband and children. She treasured her family, including her aunties, Jody Spencer of Los Angeles and Donna McLain of San Mateo, and all her nieces and nephews. After graduating college in San Diego, Michelle held several positions before starting her own wedding floral business. She was deeply engaged with the local Burlingame community, working as paraprofessional with the Burlingame School District, volunteering with numerous educational and community organizations, and active in the Mothers Club. Michelle was preceded in death by her sister Suzie Marin and her father Stanton Spencer. Friends and family are invited to a memorial mass on Saturday, August 6, 2016, at 10:00 AM at Our Lady of Angels, 1721 Hillside Drive, Burlingame, CA. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Mission Hospice (www.missionhospice.com) in memory of Michelle Hall.

Tony, Spencer, Savannah, and William,

We received the news of Michelle's passing with sadness and sorrow. There is no way to prepare for such a loss and it is our prayer that God will strengthen you while you are enduring such a tremendous loss.

Even though she has cast off her earthly ties she will never be truly gone, for she will still still live in your hearts and minds, and thus, she lives on.

We would like to offer our condolences to the Spencer family as well.

May God bless and keep you all.

My Son Anthony, Spencer, Savannah , William and Spencer family.
It is so hard to find comforting words at such a difficult time. Michelle was a deeply loved wife, mother and daughter as well as a treasured friend to many. She has been in my prayers for quite a while.
I pray God's blessings will be with you all now and in time to come to give you enduring strength.
One of the things about Michelle that I remember most is the beautiful smile that she gave to all and the sound of her laughter.
She will be sadly missed but as time goes by I pray you will find comfort in the beautiful memories of the time you spent with Michelle.
May God continue to be with you all and ease your pain with his love and grace.

Mom (Nana) and Mike. Brunswick, Ga.

Dear sweet Mary Ellen, what a tragic loss your baby sister and Susie not so long ago. I am at a loss for any comforting words that might help ease the pain of your grief but I'm certain there are none. I love you so much and have thought of you many many times over the years. I looked for you also on Facebook to no avail. Give my love to Sandy and the rest of your family. 805 644-7844 You are always in my thoughts and prayers but never so much as now. Pamela Robertson

Michelle was one of the first ladies I met when we moved to Burlingame 16 years ago. We spent many hours at Pershing Park with our boys and on the soccer fields of Burlingame over the years. Michelle was always so kind and joyful. We will miss you being in our lives.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. It's a tremendous loss for them and our community.
Much Love,
The Murphy's - Denis, Whitney, Devin & Finbarr
