Lou Ethel McBride Hall, 65, of New Albany, died peacefully Tuesday, December 28, 2021 at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo.
She is survived by her loving husband, Michael Hall; one daughter, Denise (Jason) Godin; two stepdaughters, Ginger (Chris) Hill and Kristen (Daniel) Stegall; eight grandchildren: Drew, Michael, Asher, Rose, Anniston, Colton, Dalton, and Caleb; numerous extended family through marriage and untold number of friends and acquaintances.
She was preceded in death by her father, Arthur R. McBride, Sr.; mother, Mary Gladys Self; two brothers, Arthur R. McBride, Jr. and Freddie McBride; and son, Charles A. McBride.
Lou was a long-time resident of Union County, where she lived and raised her family after leaving Holmes County around 1985. For years Lou worked in factories before becoming a full-time homemaker doing side work and crafts with friends. For many years, she was a full-time active member of Moss Hill Baptist Church where she assisted as secretary and even youth director, but her passion was always VBS craft director.
Lou loved cooking, reading, playing card games, and before her hands became unsteady, making anything crafty she could imagine. More recently, she developed a love for Hallmark Movies, puzzle books, and staying connected with family and friends through social media.
The memorial service will be at Moss Hill Baptist Church at 10:00 am on Saturday, January 8, 2022. Bro. Mitchell Hall will be officiating. Per request, Lou will be buried at Pinecrest Cemetery located in Holmes County to rest with family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Moss Hill Baptist Church in her memory. Services entrusted to Payton Mortuary.
