Mary Willene Hall (formerly Davis), a Lexington Park resident, passed away Tuesday, July 29, 2008 at Georgetown University Hospital after an extended illness. She was 65 years old.

She was preceded in death by her parents Mary Ruth Adams (Davis) and Ebb Willis Davis and a son David Lee Hall.

She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Richard Lee Hall. She is also survived by her son Bryon Lee Hall and daughter Mary Shannon (Hall) Evans. In addition she has several grandchildren; Joshua and Jeremy Hall, Rachael Sierra Evans and Tiffanie Lee Hall (Daughter of David) and a brother Bill D. Davis of CA.

Willene was active in her church before her illness. She was Grandma to many of the kids where she taught Sunday School. She had many friends who enjoyed her kind words and loving heart. She always had a hug for anyone that needed or wanted one. Willene was also wonderful with crafts and would spend hours making something beautiful of yarn, ceramics or quilting, only to give them as gifts to someone she cared about. She loved to make people smile. She also took in and gave shelter to many young people who needed love and some stability. She tried to foster until her ill health stopped her.

Her favorite things in life were family, especially her children and grandchildren. She loved to take spur of the moment day trips, packing the family in the car, destination unknown with a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter. She also loved her many pets.

She was born and raised in California. She met her husband in San Diego where he was stationed at the Naval base in Imperial Beach. Her husband Richard retired from the Navy and they settled in St. Mary's County.
