Carly Ann Hale

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved- Carly Ann Hale at the young age of 21 years old. She left this earth unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 24, 2022 in Austin, TX where she resided pursuing her musical talents. Carly was born on July 17, 2000 in Lafayette, Louisiana and grew up in The Woodlands, Texas.

Carly’s biggest passion in life was music. She was a dynamic and talented musician- an avid guitarist, passionate for the piano and spent countless hours perfecting her tunes. When Carly wasn’t strumming the guitar or playing the piano, she could be found cooking, painting, hiking and singing her heart out. Carly also dabbled in other pursuits, including singer-song composing and writing. She was a bright star in this often difficult world and will be missed by so many friends and family members. We are completely unprepared for this unexpected loss and miss her greatly.

Anyone who knew Carly, knew the type of soul she had and knows how difficult this loss is for our family.

Carly is survived by her mother, Melissa Welch Hale of Austin,Texas. Her father Burke Christopher Hale and stepmom Edith Hale; her brothers Parker Hale, Leo Hale and sister-in-law Caitlin Downs Hale; her step-brother Nicholas Amaya and her step-sister Katelyn Amaya all from The Woodlands, Texas; grandmother Sigrun Hale of Belton, Texas. Countless aunts, uncles, cousins, family & friends. Lastly, her best-K9 companion Joey.

She was predeceased by grandparents, Leo and Myrtle Welch; grandfather, William "Bill" Hale; uncles Michael Wayne Welch and Daryl William Welch.

Carly was a peacemaker and a warm ray of sunshine in every room she walked into. She was the recipient of the Girl Scout Gold Award. She played the clarinet with her school bands, excelling to section leader of The Woodlands High School Marching Band. Carly, also, sang Alto for The Woodlands High School Honor Choir. Most recently , Carly was teaching music professionally at Premier Music Academy in Round Rock, Texas. She was loved and cherished by many.
