Mrs. Jacquelyn Colvin Hall, 81, also known as Jackie or Buddy by her family, died peacefully at her home Saturday evening (May 24, 2015) in Blackshear after a long illness.
Jackie grew up at Route 5 Jamestown, Waycross, GA. A very devoted wife and mother. Her childhood memories were many. Helping her father, W.R. Colvin Sr. in the back field with hopes of getting a quarter to go to the movies. Trying to gather eggs, scared of those old hens. All of the good times spent with her brother and sisters.
Then one day the love of her life, JC Hall, moved to Waycross to work with the railroad. They married and JC was immediately stationed in Thule, Greenland. Now Jackie Hall was married, a senior in high school, outstanding athlete, a beautiful contestant in the Farm Bureau Queen Contest and an All State Basketball Player waiting for her new husband to return to Waycross.
Upon his returne they moved to Duluth, MN. In Duluth they were one of the few living in the trailer park that had a TV and many friends would come over almost every night and she would make endless pots of popcorn, which ended up being a family tradition. They headed south to Alexandria, LA and then they were off to Frankfurt, Germany for an experience of a lifetime. Memories made in Germany were those that could never be surpassed. Here the family increased by one with a son, Chris. Living in Germany was more fun for them than they ever expected, traveling to several countries in one day, learning the language and culture.
In 1961 all three were on the SS United States, moving to Warner Robins, GA. Then, three years later was a road trip to Orlando, FL. She fell in love with Central Florida. One of first things she did when she moved to Sunny Florida was pick kumquats and make kumquat marmalade. Now she was a Floridian. They built a house in the Isle of Catalina on beautiful Clear Lake. Here she tried to learn to water ski. This ended up being a disaster, not because of her lack of want but because of her fear of alligators.
She saw a gator in the distance, fell and never tried again. She decided to sell Avon driving around in a 1965 light blue Volkswagen, toting her blue Avon Case with her co-pilot son, Chris. Orders then came for JC to be sent to Da Nang AFB, Vietnam. At this time she was the mother and father for Chris. Throwing footballs, baseballs and of course shooting basketball.
During his tour, Jackie met JC in Honolulu, Hawaii for the honeymoon of a lifetime. In 1968 the family moved to Grissom AFB, Indiana. Here she learned the art of ceramics. She enjoyed her new hobby and decorated the house with many beautiful pieces. It was here, where Chris brought bags and bags of crabapples home and she made the best Crabapple Jelly in the world! They moved back to Central Florida where she caught and fried fresh fish from the lake and made more marmalade. She was very supportive of Chris in his activities, attending band concerts, track meets and football games. She became a make-up artist for Max Factor and loved it! She excelled with Max Factor and was flown to South Carolina on one occasion to makeup models including one of Charlie's Angles, Jacquelyn Smith.
JC wanted to move to Waycross GA to become a pecan farmer and this was not her cup of tea, now. Orlando was where she wanted to live but my how things can change. The look on her face when she saw the un-kept, over grown pecan orchard in Hacklebarny was a priceless Kodak moment. Dad assured her it had potential. It was here where she work diligently, day after day in the orchard and decorating the home for her family. She and JC moved to the Okefenokee Country Club after selling the orchard and had many years family get togethers and of course popped tons of popcorn.
Jackie was a member of Jamestown United Methodist Church since childhood. Jackie was the daughter of the late W.R. Colvin Sr. and Lucille Altman Colvin.
She is preceded in death by her husband James Cecil Hall and sisters Betty Barker; Carol Cockrell and Mary Frances Morgan.
Survivors include one son, Chris Hall (wife Teresa) of Oviedo, FL; two grandchildren, Angela Christine Hall and Christian James Hall; one brother Roy Colvin (wife Nadine) of Waycross, GA., one sister Sue Colvin Adams (husband Tony) of Jasper GA. and numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives. She was surrounded by her son, daughter in law, grandchildren, cherished niece Debbie Barker Winder, her husband Harry Winder and loving caregivers Carrie Owen, Jeanette Parker, and Sherry Carter.
A funeral service will be held 2 p.m. Tuesday (August 26, 2015) at the Music Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in Oakland Cemetery. The family will receive friends 1 until 2 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home.
