Marietta (Mary) Hall, died Saturday, Sept. 26, in Bismarck where she lived for the last 42 years, following a month-long battle with lymphoma.
Friends are invited to begin gathering at Parkway Funeral Service, 2330 Tyler Parkway, Bismarck, at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, for a celebration of Mary's life. A time for remembrances will begin at 2 p.m. There will be no visitation since cremation has taken place. Internment for family only will be earlier Thursday at Sunset Memorial Gardens.
Mary Broege was born on Nov. 30, 1924, in South Wayne, Wisconsin, to Carl and Bertha Broege. She married Victor M. Hall of Holdrege, Nebraska, on Aug. 16, 1959. They lived in Prairie du Chien, WI; Devils Lake, ND; Martin, SD; Missouri Valley, IA, before moving to Bismarck in 1973.
Mary was an active athlete and outdoors woman, hunting, fishing, camping, golfing and traveling abroad extensively with her husband. Everyone who knew her admired her friendly, outgoing personality. Friends who knew her well and strangers from travel groups alike applied the word "spunky" to her.
She was well-known as an excellent bowler. Mary was actively involved in planning and hosting when the Women's International Bowling Congress tournament was held in Bismarck in 1989. Two years earlier she was Division I singles champion in the North Dakota Women's Bowling Association tournament at Jamestown.
She is survived by her husband, Vic Hall, nieces Shirley Roberts and Mary Tuescher, plus several other nieces and nephews in Wisconsin and her sister-in-law and brother-in-law Sally and James C. Petersen, of Portland, OR.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests remembrances to a charity of donor's choice.
