It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Deborah Hall, who departed this life on August 27, 2026, in Orange, Texas. Born on December 2, 1952, in Port Arthur, Texas, Deborah dedicated her life to nurturing young minds as a beloved school teacher and principal, and cherished her family above all.
Deborah's professional life was a testament to her unwavering commitment to children. As a devoted school teacher and principal at Trinity Baptist Christian, she poured many years of loving service into the lives of her students. Her spirit of service extended to the community, where she volunteered with the Eagle's Nest after-school program at First Baptist Church in Groves and diligently arranged the weekly Deacon's meetings at her church.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Deborah embraced life with enthusiasm and joy. She was an avid fan of the Houston Astros and Dallas Cowboys, cheering them on with passion. Her heart swelled with love for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought immense happiness into her life. Deborah also found comfort and delight in listening to The Gaithers and country music, and she never missed an episode of Dancing with the Stars.
Deborah leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory, her sons, Joshua Hall of Nederland, and Shawn Hall and his wife, Heather of Orange; and her daughter, Mary Kay Andress of Orange; grandchildren, Mariah Kay Reinders and her husband, Dustin, Marin Kayla Andress, Malori LaRae Andress, Chryssy Lynn Gregg and her fiancé, Chase Reynolds, Dillon Dwayne Gregg, Rachel Hall, Kaleb Hall, Elliot Hall, and Emmi Hall, great-grandchildren, Wrenlee Reynolds, Khyreaux Harvey, Bleu Guillory, and Kalaysia Lov Andress; brothers, Jim King and his wife, Corey of Missouri City, Texas, Dale King and his loving wife Susan of Zebulon, North Carolina, and Gary Lynn King and his wife, Pam of Kennard, Texas.
