She was an avid reader of the entire New York Times until 90. In 2018, her family moved her to Exton, PA to be closer to loved ones. Anita had a full and interesting life. She worked as an Executive Secretary in Manhattan, then as a nursing assistant, and later, a bookkeeper while raising her four children with Bill. While in her 50's she earned a degree in accounting from Queens College, after which she worked for the NYC Department of Taxation and Finance. After moving to Hampton, she was the accountant for Hall & Associates in Washington, DC, the business started by her sons John and Bill. With a wonderful facility for numbers, she was never off by even a penny in her accounts.
She loved to paint, read, and do crossword puzzles and took up piano at age 68. She enjoyed spending time with all her grandchildren, and particularly liked playing chess with her grandson, Chris. She ensured a bond of love and companionship among her children and grandchildren by bringing the family together every year for a beach vacation in the Outer Banks. This member of The Greatest Generation and child of the Depression was strong, loving, intelligent, and possessed a formidable sense of sound ethics – traits she passed on to her children. Throughout their lives, Anita always encouraged and supported her children to be their best. She will be missed.
Anita is survived by her sister Gloria and her brother Tom. She is survived by her children and their spouses/significant others: William and Ilona Hall, John and Patricia Hall, Mary Beth Hall and Stuart Rymph, and Tom Hall and Michelle Montanya. She is survived by seven grandchildren (Jessica, Ryan (and Jen), Elizabeth (and Sarah), Diana (and Ethan), Christopher, Rebecca, and Tara) and one great grandchild (Sean).
A mass of Christian burial will be held for Anita at Saints Philip and James Church, in Exton, PA, on June 10, 2019 at 10:30 am. Inurnment alongside her beloved husband will be at a later date in the Arlington National Cemetery Columbarium.
