Patricia L Hall

Patricia L. ‘Pat’ Hall, 85, North Manchester, IN, went to live with her lord and savior Jesus Christ on January 27, 2023. Patricia was born on August 13, 1937 in Saranac, Michigan. Pat maintained a strong connection with her home state her entire life.

She was preceded in death by her parents John and Louella (Rising) Hall, a son and daughter, Richard and Roberta McConnell, 2 step sons Steve and Harry Auler, a grandson, David Auler and a great-grandson, Chase.

She is survived by her 3 brothers, Michael (Pat) Hall, Timothy (Vickie) Hall, and Robert (Sharon) Hall as well as her children Tom (Gail) Bussell, John Bussell, Stacey Seifert, Rebecca (Greg) Dwyer, Robert (Dayna) McConnell, Ronald (Sylvia) McConnell, Julia (Jeff) Boggs, Joseph (Angela) Auler, her stepchildren Gene (Regina) Auler, Marsha (Gary) Markham, Judy (Jack) Clymer, Clarence Auler Jr., James (Pam) Auler, and Bobby Auler including as well as 34 grandchildren, 49 great-grandchildren and 11 great-great-grandchildren.

Pat raised 8 children and was a mother figure to many more who came into her life through marriage, other friends, or her children’s friends.

She loved taking all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren camping in Michigan. They would go on adventures to Lake Michigan, White Fish Point, or Tahquamenon Falls and other beautiful Michigan destinations during their camping trips. Pat would cook stew or chili and made many breakfasts for them over the campfire. She always had a ready supply of hot cocoa mix on hand for any who wanted some around the campfire at night – along with the supplies for s’mores.

Pat was an inspiration to her children, encouraging them to always do their best and loving them through their wins and losses.

After a lifetime of raising children, Pat pursued and received her nursing degree in 1995 retired from Hickory Creek Nursing Home in 2004.

A celebration of Patricia’s life will be held February 11, 2023 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the American Legion Sunset Post 402, 10140 North Troyer Road, Laketon, Indiana.
