Jerry B. Hall
June 13, 1936 – February 10, 2023
SUNSET – Jerry B. Hall, 86, passed away on Feb. 10, 2023, at Wise Health System in Decatur.
A funeral service will take place at 2 p.m. on Feb. 15 at the Sunset Church of Christ with David Hall officiating. Burial will follow at the Sunset Cemetery.
Jerry Benton Hall was born on June 13, 1936 to Arvil Benton and Lois Frances Hall. His birthplace was within the family homestead which is still located on some of his farm and ranch property just a couple miles east of Sunset. Although the original house was torn down and rebuilt new when he was a boy, it remained Jerry’s residence for his entire life.
He married Wrenda Gail Hall of Arlington on July 5, 1959. He met her while attending college in Arlington and she remained his wife along his side until her death in 2021.
In a period during the late 1950s and early 1960s he served his country by being drafted and honorably discharged twice by the United States Army for cold war duty in Germany and later the Russian Missile Crisis. He received expert marksman and forward observer as some of his recognitions. He also served on the Colour Guard.
Jerry also worked at the General Motors assembly plant in Arlington for close to 30 years while at the same time running his sizeable farm and ranch operation. He would carpool to and from the plant with a few other Sunset area GM worker-friends which helped make this possible for each of them. He retired from GM in the late 1980s.
Jerry was a member of the Sunset Church of Christ in Sunset. Jerry is remembered as a great man that lived a wonderful and colorful life that he truly loved. He was devoted to his Christianity, and he loved his country. He was a generous family man and loved them with all his heart. He freely dedicated to them all that he had in however way he could give it. He also greatly cherished his family-heritage and honored it by the way in which he lived it and handed it down through teaching it to his son and daughter, and of course later this would include his two grandchildren. He enjoyed countless friendships in the Montague County area, and he was one anyone could rely upon for help at any time.
He is preceded in death by both of his parents and his only daughter, whose married name at the time was Holly Kay Humphrey. She was lost due to illness in 2014.
Jerry is survived by his son Jerry Benton Hall II (Benton) and two grandchildren, David Kenton Dosch and wife Lauren with their two sons, Colton Allen Dosch and Keller Benton Dosch, Bowie and Travis Keith Dosch and wife Bethanie with their two children Benton Keith Dosch and Paisley Kay Dosch, Weatherford. He is also survived by his sister, Carolyn Young, Killeen, TX and her three children who provided him with many great nieces and nephews.
