Shirley Diane (Souders) Hall

Shirley Diane Hall, 68, of Wells Tannery PA, died Friday, November 21, 2025 at her home. 

A 1974 graduate of Forbes Road High School, Shirley married Harold E (Ted) Hall in 1977.    Shirley devoted her life as a mother and grandmother, ever present in her children and grandchildren’s lives.  She was blessed to spend her final days at home, decorating for Christmas with her grandchildren.  

Shirley worked at a number of jobs, but ultimately built a career with Palmer Construction Company, most recently serving as Chief Financial Officer.  Joining the company in 1988, she continued her work until her health would no longer permit.  

In addition to her commitment to family, Shirley attended the Wells Valley United Methodist Church.  She also volunteered for the Make A Wish Foundation, coordinating wish fulfillment for local children facing critical illnesses.   Shirley held a special affection for pets, whether spoiling her own or loving other’s pets.   

Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, Carl F. and T. Patricia (Metzler) Souders.  She is survived by sons Peter Anthony Hall and wife Michelle, Joshua Allen Hall, and Cory Lee Hall, along with grandchildren Olivia Paige, Grayson Anthony, Kohen Lee, Noah August, Brayleigh Rae, and Rylee Jean Hall.  Also surviving are siblings C. Duane Souders and wife Nancy, H. Joan Johnston and husband James, R. James Souders and companion Terrie Hamilton, and Connie L. Barnett and husband Roy.  Fiancee John Schroder survives in Hustontown PA.  In addition, Shirley is survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
