Betty Tramer Beatty Hall
January 23, 1923 --- December 30, 2012

Betty Hall, Eagle Grove
Betty Joyce moved with her parents, John Benjamin and Helen Wilmington Tramer, from Toledo, Ohio to Detroit, Michigan in 1935, where Betty attended Coolie High School and the Detroit School of Business. She married Hudson U. Beatty in April 1943, and they lived in the Detroit area until Hud's death in November 1968.

After the deaths of their spouses, Betty and Jack started dating and were married in 1970. The families had known each other for years through Plum Hollow Golf Club of Detroit, Mich. They lived in Michigan and wintered in Florida, and eventually lived full time in Florida.

C. J. (Jack) Hall's family moved to Eagle Grove where he spent his youth and from there went on to attend Loras College. He and Betty returned to Eagle Grove in 1971 for the funeral of his older brother Chester (Bud) Hall. This turned out to be the first of many return visits to the area and reconnections with relatives (the Halls, Kennedys, and Dengers) and former friends. Jack received an honorary diploma from Loras College and established a scholarship in their names.

Jack died in 1994 and is buried in the Hall family plot in Eagle Grove. Betty will be interred beside Jack. Survivors on Jack's side include daughter Mary Kay Hall (Justilien) Landry of St. Louis, Mo.; daughters in-law Joan (Ritter) Hall of Detroit, Mich., and Louis (Kohler) Hall of West Bloomfield. Mich.; 12 grandchildren, and many great grandchildren.
