Carol Jane Hall, 86 of Rogersville, MO, passed away on April 6, 2017. She was born April 19, 1930 in Dover, New Jersey. She was the daughter of Gustav and Mary Ruth Stober.

Carol graduated from Rockaway High School, NJ in 1947. She was a cheerleader, avid ice skater, and spent many happy summers at Cedar Lake and at the beach in Ocean Grove, NJ.

In 1949, Carol graduated with an Associate in Arts degree from Stephens College, Columbia, MO, where she was a member of Phi Lambda Beta and the synchronized swim team. While attending the University of Missouri, Columbia, Carol met David W. Hall. They married on April 8, 1950. Her husband obtained his medical degree and they moved to Springfield in 1954. Carol and her husband were early members of King's Way United Methodist Church and charter members of Twin Oaks Country Club. Carol was a wife and mother to her three children. It was not until they all had graduated from high school that she started working as the office manager of her husband's medical practice.

Carol loved living in the country on the farm, just East of Springfield, and the home they built in 1975. She was still living there until her death.

Carol enjoyed traveling and many of their family vacations included flying their Mooney airplane. Carol and her husband both had a private pilot's license. What Carol especially loved was the summers at the Lake of the Ozarks with the family and long boat rides exploring the lake, and spending time at Fort Myers Beach, FL, during the winter.

She will always be loved and remembered for her unconditional love and support, her wit, and love of adventure. She will be missed by family and friends. A lifetime of memories will keep her in our hearts.

Carol was preceded in death by her husband, David W. Hall, M.D., her father Gustav Stober, and her mother, Mary Ruth Hill.
