Tommye

Hall

Tommye Hall was born January 7, 1942, in Detroit, Michigan, to Tom and Helen Scott. She was married to Fred Hall for sixteen years and later to Harold McDonald for four years. She passed away on October 22, 2026, in Tyler. Tommye had one son, Raymond Cameron of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, whom she spoke of often and loved so dearly. She was especially proud of her granddaughter, Rachel Federico, whom she talked about often and adored dearly. Tommye studied for a time to become a psychologist before going on to become a hairdresser. She later earned her real estate license as well. She had a passion for many things in life, especially playing bridge. In fact, she was a card-carrying member of the Bridge Society. With her friend Hilda Hahn, she would travel the county looking for the next game of bridge! She was a member of First Methodist Church. She also enjoyed spending time with her church family. She was a part of the Runnels Chapel Sunday School class. She enjoyed filling in part-time in the church office. She loved her church family dearly and enjoyed cooking for special events at the church, including her famous honey bun cake, which was much loved and highly requested at the Methodist Men’s Breakfast. In May of 2006, she began working with Kelli Snider, and the two became very close — so much so that they referred to each other as family. Tommye had a passion for flowers and loved to share her seeds and plants. She was a collector of many trinkets and enjoyed sharing those as well. She had a giving heart and was always looking out for others, especially through gifting for special occasions. She was especially grateful for Jessi Webb and was very blessed by Jessi’s willingness to always be there for her, no matter the time of day or night. They became very close. She was also grateful for Tim Verner, Debra Hippler, Mary Lynn Tinkle, Brenda Applequist, Becky Parfait and Steve and Lisa Thomas for their friendship and care through the years. She was especially grateful to Dawn Barnes, whose care of Tommye went well above and beyond office hours. During her last days, she was especially grateful to Pastor David Williams for his pastoral care and love. The family would like to thank Avir Nursing Facility of Center, Texas, and Choice Hospice of Tyler, Texas, who took such good care of Tommye. Tommye will be deeply missed by everyone who loved her so much. Memorials can be made to the First Methodist Church of Center, Texas. She is preceded in death by her late husbands, Fred Hall & Harold McDonald & Brother, Robert Authur Scott. Memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m., Monday, November 16, 2026, at First Methodist Church of Center, Texas.
