My heart is broken for you all. I have many many fond memories of her. There was a portion of my life that was spent almost every night at her home. Lunch on Sundays. I would watch her make my favorite collards. She put up with a lot from us girls. I know she is in heaven still watching over us. She was very much loved and will be missed.

Dear family, I am saddened to hear of your loss. Erlene was always the sweetest person and was the kindest aunt anyone could ask for. I have fond memories of her as I'm sure everyone does which will always bring a smile. God bless y'all and rest peacefully Aunt Erlene. Love, Mike

My condolences especially to the 4 Ds; Donnie, Doug, Dede and Deanna and the entire family. I remember going to “Carolina “ to that big beautiful bluff on the Colleton /Oakatee river. First thing Mrs Hall wanted was some blue crabs. Of course that was the job for me and Doug ! Also I remember being in Walmart one day and hearing a voice on the intercom. No that can’t be Mrs Hall … yes it was as it says in the obituary for 28 years WOW !!! May she rest in peace.
