Clifford L Hall

Clifford Lee Hall, 78, embraced eternal peace on Friday, September 29, 2023, enveloped by the warm embrace of his adoring family. A proud native of Madisonville, KY, he was born to the late Lewis and Lizzie Hall.

From a young age, Clifford understood the essence of diligence and developed a deep love for God, by professing his faith in Christ at Oak Grove Baptist Church. He pursued his education at Rosenwald High School and later demonstrated his patriotism by serving his country in the United States Army, where he was honorably discharged with full veteran’s access.

Clifford embarked on a significant chapter of his life in Indianapolis, IN, where he found his life partner in Jeanette Jones Hall. Their enduring love story- a testament to the strength of their marriage, spanning more than 56 years and resulting in a close-knit and affectionate family.

Clifford devoted over three decades of his life to Ford Motor Company, earning numerous awards of merit and dedication, and demonstrating his steadfast commitment until his well-deserved retirement. Despite his many professional and military achievements, he considered his most honorable accomplishment to be his role as a devoted husband, a loving father, and a cherished grandfather. He leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication that will be treasured for generations to come.

Clifford enjoyed the simple things in life. His heart was content when he was fishing, tending to his garden, crafting beautiful landscapes, or diving into do-it-yourself projects. In moments of leisure, he indulged in his love for watching sports and western movies. Clifford's generosity was boundless; he not only cared for his immediate family but also extended his unwavering support to his siblings, in-laws, nieces, and nephews. His kindness and generosity touched the lives of all who knew him.

Clifford was not only cherished and revered by his family, but he also held a special place in the hearts of his friends and neighbors. Many affectionately referred to him as the Mayor of Pasadena Street. He served as the neighborhood watch long before it became a recognized concept, tirelessly ensuring the safety and well-being of those in his community. Clifford took it upon himself to plow the snow during winter months, guaranteeing safe passage for his neighbors. He meticulously maintained order on street parking, particularly in front of his house. Clifford's generosity had no limits; he welcomed neighborhood children to swim in his backyard pool alongside his own grandchildren. Furthermore, his determination to host the city's best fireworks show on July 4th became a cherished tradition. Clifford's acts of kindness and unwavering community dedication left an indelible mark on all fortunate enough to know him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lewis and Lizzie Hall, sisters Mary McNeal, Ruth Johnson, Laura Bell Mackey, Bertha Hunter, Gracie Pryor, and brother Lewis Hall.

Clifford is survived by his loving wife of over 56 years, Jeanette Jones Hall, his daughters Pamela D. Hopson (son-in-law Marcus) and Kimberly A. McMillian (son-in-law Mark) all of Indianapolis, IN, his baby sister Gladys Davis of Madisonville, KY, daughter/niece Cheryl Hines of Spring, TX, eight (8) grandchildren- Marshae, DeMarcus, Casey, Danielle, Mark, Miles, Kali, and Kenzi. He also leaves behind thirteen (13) great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, and nephews.

Clifford stood as the esteemed patriarch of his family, radiating strength and wisdom to all who knew him. His commitment as a devoted husband, a nurturing father, a cherished grandfather, a dear brother, and a beloved uncle was unparalleled. To Clifford, these roles weren't mere titles but cherished badges of honor. He often spoke of these precious connections as his life's most significant achievements, leaving behind a legacy marked by limitless love and steadfast dedication. This enduring legacy will echo through generations, a powerful testament to the exceptional man he was.

Clifford's impact on those who had the privilege to know and love him is immeasurable. His absence leaves a void in the lives of everyone he touched. Yet the comfort is knowing that his spirit will guide, his teachings will illuminate, and a reunion is imminent.

A visitation for Clifford will be held Saturday, October 14, 2023, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Crown Hill Funeral Home & Cemetery, 700 W. 38th St., Indianapolis, Indiana 46208, followed by a Celebration of Life at 12:00 PM.
