Tina M. Hall

Tina M. Hall, 60, of Claypool, peacefully passed away at 4:24 p.m. on Friday, September 6, 2024 at Stillwater Hospice in Fort Wayne.

Tina was born March 28, 1964 in Marion, Indiana to Kenneth L. Hall Jr. and Bonnie Sue (Cox) Hall. She worked hard to get her GED and then enlisted into the military.

She proudly served in the U.S. Air Force as a “wing nut” working as a machinist on the airplanes until her Honorable Discharge.

Tina met her life partner, Patty Hall, and shared 33 years together. They moved to Claypool in 1990 to be closer to their immediate family. She worked for Zimmer-Biomet as a machinist until her retirement in 2016. In her mother’s last years, the couple moved Tina’s mother into their home and she adored the special time she got with her mother. They would harass each other all day, but all in good fun. She was deeply hurt and lost when her mother passed away.

Tina was very eccentric, found the humor in just about anything, and could always be counted on for comedic relief. She was very giving and willing to help anyone and never expected anything in return. She was loyal, wore her heart on her sleeve and was always forgiving.

She spent a lot of her free time doing woodworking, making indoor and outdoor décor. She loved long rides, always as the driver, on her Harley Davidson Motorcycle and collected Harley clothing and memorabilia. She enjoyed fishing, being on the lake and watching true crime shows. She was an avid reader of books and of her Bible. She most adored spending time and doing things with her family. Tina loved little children and could have been considered a crazy cat lady.

Tina is deeply missed by her brother, Kenneth A. Hall of Warsaw; sister, Barb Hall of Huntertown; niece, Cassie (Nicholas) Hillman of Huntertown; nephew, Daniel A. Hall of Claypool; “son” Aaron (Lisa) Keffer of Quincy, IN; great nieces and nephew, Claire, Bentley and Amelia; aunts, an uncle and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents and life partner, Patty.

Visitation will be held from 11-1 p.m. on Wednesday, September 11, 2024 at McHatton-Sadler Funeral Chapels, 2290 Provident Court, Warsaw. Funeral services will begin 1 p.m. in the funeral home, followed by Military Honors.

Memorial contributions can be made to Parkview Cancer Institute, 11050 Parkview Cir, Fort Wayne, IN 46845.
