Willie Beatrice (Steelman) Hall, 75, of Lindsay, went to be with her Lord and Savior, on Friday, December 29, 2023, in Lindsay, Oklahoma. The daughter of Charlie Louis Steelman and Sudie Marie (Lenderman) Steelman, Willie was born on April 11, 1948, in Sasakwa, Oklahoma.

Willie grew up in Dibble and was a 1966 graduate of Dibble High School. Willie married John Ray Hall on June 24, 1967, and they moved to Norman after his deployment with the Army. While living in Norman, John, and Willie both accepted the Lord Jesus as their Savior during a revival when they were 27 years old. After moving back to Lindsay, she and John joined the Criner Baptist Church. Willie was a choir member there and worked in the nursery for several years.

Willie worked at the University of Oklahoma as a cashier in the cafeteria for a period. She worked for Award Design Medals in Noble for 21 years then at Midwest Trophy for 10 years after they bought out ADM. She was the shipping supervisor at both places and her family fondly said that she was also the supervisor of all the family too. She loved gardening and her red birds. Willie also enjoyed doing puzzles and reading. She was a loving wife, mother and sister who will be missed by all that knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; one brother, Wayne Steelman; two brothers-in-law, James Nickels and Art Jones; and one sister-in-law, Donna Steelman.
