Mary T. Hall Place

NORTH CREEK | Mary T. Hall Place, 85, went home to be with her precious Lord and Savior April 16, 2020. Mary was joyfully welcomed by her husband, Vincent; her parents, Theron and Elizabeth Hall; her sister and best friend, Peggy (Vangarderen/Revena); her brother Teddy; her sisters Jean and Ann; her oldest and youngest daughters, Mary Beth (Ryan) and Katie (Goodspeed); her grandson Kevin Fallon; and many more loved ones. Mary was born on April 10, 1935, in North Creek, New York, to Theron and Elizabeth Hall. Mary graduated from Chestertown High School in 1952, as valedictorian of her class. There she met our dad, Vincent, and together they raised our large family for 51 years. Every evening our Mom made a big dinner and each morning, a big breakfast. She was adamant about us taking our vitamins before we ran out the door to school. She was quite ahead of her time in many ways. Each night, our Mom would come into our rooms and say prayers with us and rub our backs. And somehow, she still found time to volunteer for Right to Life and do presentations including St. Mary's Academy. Our Mom loved our Lord and was eager to share this love with her children. One Christmas, our Mom gave each of us a Bible and a cross. Some of the children still cherish and use this well-worn Bible to this day. Our Mom was an avid Prayer Warrior, and we are sure it took her half the day to complete all the prayers for her many children, grandchildren, and loved ones. One of her favorite scriptures was "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." Certainly, her faith got her through many dangers, toils and snares. She prayed constantly for her grandchildren with addiction and visited her grandson in recovery to share her encouragement and faith. Praise the Lord. Our Mom had a unique sense of humor, and that became more apparent in her later years, along with a streak of rebellion, which she indeed passed on to some of her children. She loved family picnics and always made her delicious potato salad, leaving a portion without onion for one of her sons-in-law. Our Mom was truly a Proverbs woman and now Grace has brought her home. Mary leaves behind eight children: Jean (Jay) Cyr, Barbara (Jim) Place, Vincent (Danna) Place, Patricia (Martin) Hamlin, Timothy (Michelle) Place, Joseph (Marcie) Place, Kevin (Dahlia) Place and Brian Place. She also leaves behind 31 grandchildren: Elizabeth (Jim) Fawcett, Sarah (Al) Mattice, Seneca Ryan, Jamie Cyr, Jackie (Alexa) Cyr, Joey (Alli) Cyr, Sean Fallon, Kelly Fallon, Laura Place, Sarah (Dennis) Place, Vinnie Place, Hannah Place, Melissa Place, William Daha, Matthew (Sara) Hamlin, Laura (Joshua) Leffew, Grace (Charles) Pereria, Joseph (Heather) Hamlin, Katherine Place, Meghan (Brent) Higham, Christine (Tyler) Laramie, Alyssa Place, Samuel Place, Benjamin Place, Teddy Place, Lexi Place, Tony Place, Logan (Sarah) Place, Derek Goodspeed, Craig Goodspeed, and Darren Goodspeed. She also leaves behind 26 great-grandchildren; a brother, Norman (Dana) Hall; and sisters-in-law Joan Hall, Deannie Condon, and Penny Redmond; brother-in-law Patrick Ravena; sons-in-law Daniel Ryan and Ron Goodspeed; and many nieces, nephews and Prayer Warrior friends. Charitable donations may be made in Mary's name to the Friends of Assisi Food Pantry, 77 Water St., Danielson, Connecticut, or the Parry-Romberg Connection (the rare disease our little sister had). There will be a celebration of Mary's life this summer on Saturday, June 27 at the Christian Worship Center in Warrensburg, followed by a potluck gathering at Ushers Park. All are welcomed. We are grateful to God for His gift of our amazing Mom for so many years.
