Kellie Ann Hall's Obituary
Kellie Ann (Tidwell) Hall, beloved wife, mother, daughter, and Nana, peacefully went home to be with the Lord on Monday, July 8, 2024 surrounded by much love and family after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was 54 years old.
Born on August 31, 1969, she was the cherished daughter of Daniel and Joanne Tidwell of Georgetown. Kellie was a graduate of Sussex Central High School where she met her husband of almost 32 years, Charles “Chuck” Hall and they both went on to attend The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. They were wed in August 1992 and from that union were blessed with two wonderful daughters Emily and Rachel.
Kellie was a highly respected and dedicated educator of 30 years, all of which were spent teaching first grade at East Millsboro Elementary School. Kellie went on to complete her Masters Degree in Education from Wilmington University and touched the lives of generations of students who often shared stories when seeing her around town. Kellie could always spot a former student from a mile away, call them by their name, and give a funny story or two about something they might have done in her class. Her dedication to education did not stop in the classroom as she spent a large portion of her personal time assisting with PTO and mentoring programs.
Family and God were at the center of Kellie’s life but her biggest accomplishment was being a mother and Nana. Kellie spent years sitting in the lobby of Dance Alley and traveling to several dance competitions with Emily, and then later found her passion of traveling up and down the east coast watching Rachel play softball. In 2019, Kellie earned the title “Nana” to Addison and again in May 2024 to Carson, children of Emily and Tyler - both of whom were the light of her life and who gave her great purpose and strength during her illness.
Kellie will always be remembered for her love of the beach and all things Christmas.
Kellie is survived by her husband Chuck, her daughters Emily (Tyler) Wright and Rachel of Millsboro, her brother Jamie (Carrie) Tidwell of Fort Lauderdale, FL and her parents Daniel and Joanne Tidwell of Georgetown. She also leaves a host of nieces, nephews and extended family and close friends. Kellie is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, George P. and Hazel Tidwell and maternal grandparents Cleve and Artie Calloway.
In lieu of flowers, the family will be collecting donations of children’s books to be donated back to the local schools in her memory. Books can be brought to the services or dropped off at Chuck’s State Farm Agency at 29787 John J. Williams Highway - Unit 1, Millsboro.
A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, July 18, 2024 at noon at East Millsboro Elementary School. Visitation will be from 10AM - Noon prior to the start of the service.
**Florists - Please deliver any flowers to Watson Funeral Home on Wednesday, 7-17-24 from 3 PM - 4 PM.
