<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">Patricia Anne (Gormley) Hall, 76, of San Diego, California, died peacefully early Saturday morning, March 7, 2009 after a short illness. She was the daughter of the late Franklin and M. Patricia (O'Leary) Gormley. Patricia "Patty" was born November 28, 1932 in Groveton, New Hampshire, and grew up in the town of Lancaster, New Hampshire. She married the love of her life Ruel J. Hall, on June 20, 1953. Her stunning red hair was an outer reflection of her fiery and independent spirit. She was known for her remarkable energy, which emanated through the activities in which she was involved, the way in which she approached and viewed life, and all those whose lives she touched. She will be remembered as a loving wife and mother, a devoted teacher, and, after she retired, as a passionate and accomplished duplicate bridge player. She was a card-carrying ACBL member known for her savvy play and competitive edge. Patricia taught sixth grade language arts and social studies for 20 years at Blanchard Memorial Elementary School in Boxborough, Massachusetts.In her early years, she attended Lancaster Elementary School and also graduated from Lancaster Academy in 1950, where she played on the basketball team. Next, she attended and graduated from Keene State College in 1954. She and Ruel were married for almost 56 years. While her children were young, she and her family resided in Dublin and Peterborough, New Hampshire for 8 years. After that they lived in Groton, Massachusetts for 22 years. There her husband Ruel, an elementary school principal, became involved in the standardbred horse racing business. As a true partner, Patty devoted some of her time to the care and training of racehorses, a dedication that lasted over a 40 year span.In their retirement, after many years of educating young people, she and Ruel became "snowbirds" for 19 years, spending winter months in Pompano Beach, Florida, and summers lakeside in northern Vermont. The Halls had a place on Maidstone Lake for over 30 years and still have a place on Big Averill Lake.She is survived by her four children; JoAnne (Hall) Gulbransen and her husband Harold of San Diego, California, James (Michael) Hall and his wife Jeanne of Averill, Vermont, Peter Max Hall of San Diego, California, and Dr. Maureen Patricia Hall of Dartmouth, Massachusetts. She enjoyed being part of her five grandchildren's lives; they are Joshua David Hall, Krista Hall Gulbransen, Katelyn Patrice Recksiedler, Jessica Maureen Hall, and Dana Jean Gulbransen. She is also survived by two sisters and one brother.A mass and a celebration of Patricia's life will be held in mid-summer at St. Francis Xavier Church in Groveton, New Hampshire.(FAMILY NOTICE)
