Denise C. Hall

Denise C. Hall, 71, of Chesterland, Ohio, passed away on Wednesday November 17, 2021 at Hillcrest Hospital in Mayfield Heights, OH. Denise had been hospitalized since mid-September with a variety of medical issues. She fought with determination but ultimately lost the strength to continue and died quickly and peacefully. Denise was a loving, kind and generous wife, mother and friend to her husband of forty-six years Charles (Chuck) Hall, their children Stephen Hall of Chesterland, OH, Brian Hall of Lyndurst, OH, and Melissa (Emily McPherson) Hall of Rochester, NY, and to many friends she had developed in her forty-five years in northeast Ohio, especially through her service as a highly professional and dedicated realtor over the last 40+ years. Denise was raised in Meriden, CT, the daughter of Peter and Coranna (Paradis) Cloutier. In 1975, she was living in Burlington, Vermont while working on her master’s degree at the University of Vermont after having completed her undergraduate work at St. Michael’s College in Burlington. That year, she met her future husband, Chuck Hall. They were engaged on their way back from a Stanley Cup playoff game in Montreal, Canada and were married in October 1975. They moved to Cleveland Heights, Ohio in 1976, and then to Chesterland in 1978, where they resided until her death.

Their love of hockey was inherited by their children and Denise and Chuck spent many wonderful hours with their kids traveling to hockey games throughout the midwest and Canada. She was also dedicated to insuring that family traditions were established and maintained, especially during her favorite holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Denise especially enjoyed lavishing gifts on all of her family members, often covering the entire floor of the family room with presents at Christmas.

Denise was also a very spiritual person, which she believed she inherited from her father’s mother who was a Seneca medicine woman. Denise was a Reiki master and was constantly exploring alternative means to assist family members, friends and people she didn’t know to overcome medical and spiritual issues. Denise was loved by many. Chuck and the children will be having a private memorial service and will schedule a memorial gathering in the near future.
