Mount Pleasant – Carol Rose (nee: Schuit) Hall, age 89, passed away peacefully at Ascension All Saints Hospital Thursday afternoon, July 16, 2020 following a courageous struggle with COVID-19.
A lifetime resident, Carol was born in Racine on February 4, 1931 to the late Nicholas and Mary Frances (nee: Matterer) Schuit. She was a 1949 graduate of St. Catherine’s High School. On January 10, 1953 in St. Edward’s Catholic Church, she was united in marriage with the love of her life, James William “Bill” Hall, who preceded Carol in death on February 18, 2006.
Carol was a proud & faithful member of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church where she was an advocate for “Right for Life” , she was an active volunteer in prison ministry and supported many charitable causes including Maryknoll Sisters, St. Francis Seminary, and Catholic Charities. Among her interests, she enjoyed socializing with friends while playing Bridge & Mahjong and always looked forward to adventurous hikes with her family. She could always be found in front of her television on a Sunday after Church, cheering on the Green Bay Packers. Above all, Carol loved to laugh, enjoyed life & cherished spending time with her children & grandchildren. Family was her everything.

My heart is heavy at hearing the news of Carol’s passing. I will forever remember her as an integral part of the “mom community” at Sacred Heart grade school back in the 70’s…they were always there for each other and for all of us kids. I have fond memories of Bill and Carol (and Katie) at my wedding reception. Carol’s smile and laughter are how I will always remember her. Take comfort in your warm memories and the support of family and friends. You are all on my heart and in my prayers.
Chris Hughes says
Mary and Katie,; I am so sad for your loss. Your mom had such a love for life and she loved you so very much. Our time in London was special and one I cherish so very much. For someone so honest, it was hard to believe that she would attempt to ride the Hop on Hop off using an expired pass… we laughed and giggled like school children. Of course I am bound by the sanctity of the confessional so I cannot reveal what your mom told me in the confessional box in London.
My condolences to you and your entire family. You are all in my prayers. Your mom can now play golf on the heavenly greens using her balls blessed by the pope.
Richard Ketley says
I had the privilege of meeting Carol when she visited London a few years ago with Mary and Kate and was struck by her youthfulness and vigour for life. She had a great sense of humour and we spent a lovely couple of hours chatting and laughing as though we had known each other for years! Carol you have raised a lovely family who will carry on your memory. May you rest in peace in the best of places.
Jim and Kathy Munsell says
