Martha Hall Obituary

Martha Lynn (VanHook) Hall, 65, of Pottstown, PA, passed away on April 2, 2024, at Pottstown Hospital. She was the wife of Gary Watson Hall, with whom she shared 40 years of marriage.

Born in Berea, KY, on March 31, 1959, Martha was the daughter of Dr. Carol Ann (Riddle) VanHook and the late Dr. Harold Denton VanHook.

Martha earned her Master's of Science Degree in Housing, Interior Design and Resource Management from Virginia Tech, where she met her husband, Gary. They relocated to Pennsylvania in 1984 and have resided there ever since. Martha played an active role in her daughter's life and served as a dedicated member of the PTA for the Owen J. Roberts School District, including terms as president. She additionally used her multi-faceted organizational skills for her relatives, from compiling family recipes to create cookbooks, to organizing the annual gathering for Christmas. Martha’s passion for creativity extended to home remodeling and renovation, where she was the driving force behind projects at their homes in North Coventry and Upper Pottsgrove. She showcased her skills as a seamstress for various dance and theatre productions, and dedicated time to Relay for Life in Pottstown alongside her husband. An avid reader of many genres, Martha always loved a good book. Martha’s love for needlework, crafting and renowned peanut butter fudge will be cherished memories for those who knew her.

Martha is lovingly remembered by her husband, Gary Hall; her mother, Carol Ann VanHook; her daughter, Sarah Beth Hall; her brother, Mark (& Sherri) VanHook; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Henry and Doris Hall; and her siblings-in-law, Patti Small, Steve (& Ruthann) Hall, and Karen (& David) Gould.
