Lacy Hall II Obituary (1944 - 2023)

Elkhart - Lacy Hall II, 79, of Elkhart, IL, passed away Tuesday, September 5, 2023, at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield. Lacy was born July 9, 1944, in Lincoln, IL, the son of Lacy and Irene (Greer) Hall Sr. He married Sherry Abbey on February 24, 1968, in Algonac, MI. She survives. Lacy is also survived by his children, Jennifer (Todd) Thomson, Megan (J.) Drake, and Seth (Rachel) Hall; ten grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; his brother, Alan (Teresa) Hall; and his four nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents. Lacy was a servant at heart. He was a member of the Elkhart High School board and served on the Elkhart Fire Department for many years, including as Fire Chief. He was joyfully dedicated to serving the Lord as Sunday school teacher, deacon, and elder with Elkhart Christian Church and was a member of several international missionary boards. He enjoyed both making and shooting guns, woodworking, and talking politics and religion, but his main love was spending time with family and friends. Lacy never met a stranger, as he treated everyone like a long-lost friend. While we will all miss him deeply, we are rejoicing in his freedom from this world. We are sure of his salvation, through Christ, and that gives us peace that passes all understanding. A memorial service for Lacy will be held at 11:00am on Friday, September 15, 2023, at Elkhart Christian Church in Elkhart, IL, with Pastor Mike Drake officiating. Visitation will take place two hours prior from 9:00am to 11:00am at the church. Memorials may be made in Lacy's name to Elkhart Christian Church. Cremation rites have been entrusted to Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln.
