Clara "Wanza" Hall, a beacon of warmth and generosity, passed away peacefully on December 16, 2023, at the age of 72, in her hometown of Greenville, SC, where she was also born on October 11, 1951. Wanza, as she was affectionately known by her loved ones, lived a life marked by kindness, a spirited nature, and an unwavering dedication to her family and community.
Wanza was a proud graduate of her local high school, where she formed lifelong friendships and developed a passion for service that would define much of her life. Her commitment to helping others was evident through her tireless work with the homeless in the communities of Walmar and Bojangles. She was a friend to those in need, offering not just food and assistance but also a listening ear and a heart full of empathy.
Her family was the cornerstone of her life. Wanza was a loving mother to her son, Timothy Kevin Hall, and a cherished mother-in-law to Loretta Cacioppo. Her daughter, Tracy Barbare, and son-in-law, Michael Barbare, were a constant source of joy and pride. Wanza's eyes would light up at the mention of her beloved granddaughter, Emma Barbare, whose rodeo talents she adored watching. The bond she shared with Emma was a testament to her loving and supportive nature as a grandmother.
Wanza's interests reflected her love for life and the joy she found in simple pleasures. In her younger years, she was an avid horse lover, a hobby that spoke to her free spirit and love for animals. Her later years were filled with the laughter of friends and the warmth of family gatherings, which she cherished above all else.
Those who knew Wanza will remember her as the epitome of friendliness, always ready with a smile and a kind word. Her generous spirit touched many lives, and her legacy of compassion and selflessness will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to cross her path.
Wanza's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with love, care, and the desire to make a difference. As we bid farewell to this extraordinary woman, we celebrate the enduring impact she has made on her family, friends, and the countless lives she touched. Clara "Wanza" Hall will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
