Carrie, affectionately called “Carrie Possum” family and friends and “Mama” by her grandchildren, was known for her hearty and BIG personality! She retired as a cook from “The Roost” Cafeteria at the University of South Carolina.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Preston Hall, Sr.; her baby boy, Gerald Hall; her siblings: Ozzie Hopkins, Jr., Walter Hopkins and Lillie Ruth Berson.

She leaves to cherish her loving memories: her only daughter, Betty (Nathaniel) Hall-Perkins; sons: Jimmie Preston “Bubba” Hall of Columbia, South Carolina and Charles Hall of Dothan, Alabama; a sister, Dorothy Berthea of Columbia, South Carolina; seventeen grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren and fourteen great-great grandchildren; Beulah Fordham who was like a sister; and a host of other loving relatives and friends, all of whom will miss her dearly. Also missing her presence is her special pet, “AJ”.
