Mary Aline Halle's Obituary
Mary Aline Halle, a sixth-generation Memphian, passed away on January 18, 2022. Mary graduated from Germantown High School and attended The University of Tennessee as a member of Delta Gamma Sorority. She graduated from Memphis State University. In her teen years Mary was an accomplished equestrian and had a love for all animals. Mary retired from Shelby County Schools after 29 years of teaching and loved walking dogs for the Memphis Humane Society. She spent her later years traveling and loving life with her very dear friend, Robert Burnell Bass, who predeceased her in 2021. Mary was a lifelong fan of The University of Tennessee Volunteers and enjoyed watching the games and entertaining with her large group of friends. Through-out her life she looked forward to meeting friends and family at Pete and Sam’s for many celebratory occasions. Mary had a dry sense of humor and a quick wit and was known to provide straight-forward commentary on the world around her.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents Myron Ashner Halle, Jr. and Mary Shirley (Moore) Halle. She is survived by her loving brothers, Myron Ashner Halle III of Inverness, FL and Robert Moore Halle of Roswell, GA; as well as, Myron Ashner Halle IV (nephew), Kathryn Celeste (Halle) Young (niece), and Mikayla Young (great-niece). Additional survivors include her first cousins David Philip Halle, Jr. of Collierville, TN, Philip Guy Halle of Memphis, TN, and Robin Page (Halle) Fortune of Clermont, FL. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Memphis Humane Society would be appreciated. Visitation will be Saturday, January 29, 2022 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM with a memorial service starting at 12:00 PM in the Rotunda at Memorial Park Cemetery.
