Middie Lorraine Hall

Middie Lorraine Hall, 81, of Charlottesville, passed away on May 10, 2020. Middie was born on September 14, 1938, in Albemarle County, Virginia, to the late Hershey and Bessie Goolsby. Middie was well known in Charlottesville--she was the Manager of CVS on Main Street for over 40 years and a lifelong friend to many that she worked with. She was a member of Southside Christian Church and a strong believer in Jesus Christ. Middie was loved and admired by everyone and “Grandma” to anyone who needed her! Middie was a very special grandma and great grandma. She was a friend; someone who would always be honest, whether you wanted to hear it or not. She, just like her late husband Richard, would give the shirt off her back to a stranger. Middie always saw the good in a person and showed love for everyone. Her life focus was family and work. She especially enjoyed the holidays with family gatherings and meals. Middie had her hair done on a weekly basis and appreciated having an immaculate house. Yard sales are one of her favorite past times, but shopping and buying gifts for others was what she seemed to enjoy the most. Her presence will be forever missed. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Richard G. Hall; her siblings James “Tootsie” Goolsby from Ladson, SC, Emmett Goolsby from Orange, Roy Goolsby from Ruckersville, Florence “Sissy” Childress from Petersburg; her children Richard Garland Hall, Jr., David “Doc” Roland Hall, and Theresa Hall Shiflett from Charlottesville. She is survived by her sister, Daisy Maupin of North Garden and her grand-children, Tara Hall of Charlottesville, Melissa McCoy and her husband, Kennon, of Palmyra, Shayne Shiflett of Charlottesville and Nick Pollock of Louisa. In addition, she is survived by her great-grandchildren, Sherod McCoy, Kiara McCoy, Taylor Holsapple, Makenzie McCoy, and Montana Green; and great-great granddaughter, London McCoy. A private graveside service for immediate family will be conducted at 11 AM, Saturday, May 16, 2020, at Holly Memorial Gardens with Minister Wayne Martin officiating. Due to the current health crisis, those who would like to attend may view the service from their cars with an opportunity to pay respects at the gravesite in smaller groups. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be given to Southside Christian Church, 810 Blenheim ave., Charlottesville, VA 22902, in her honor.
