Obituary

Ursula Ellisabeth Hall went to be with her LORD and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday evening, November 7, 2025.
She is survived by her Army Veteran husband of 74 years, Jackie L. Hall, a daughter Linda Susanna Poolos (husband Gary), a daughter Patricia Elisabeth Conley (husband William), a son Kenneth David Hall (wife Cecilia) and a daughter Sharon Ursula Dickman (husband Leroy).
Ursula and Jack have five grandchildren:  Mark D. Poolos, Matthew D. Hall (fiance Rachel), Michael D. Hall (wife Jacque), Jennifer A. Allison (husband Steven), Dr. William Roy Dickman (wife Tabitha), Brandon S. Conley (wife Olivia), and Grace McKenna Dickman.  They have 12 great grandchildren:
Levi, Jack and Lily, Charlotte, Isaac, Margaret and Lucy; twins Keelee and Kinlee; Sydney, Nora and Harvey.

Ursula was born to Bernhardt and Elisabeth Aust of Kant, Germany on August 9, 1929.  She had two brothers, Wolfgang and Georg (both deceased)
and three sisters, Doris and Christa (both deceased) and her last surviving sister, Hanah.  Bernhardt was a carpenter by trade and took over the thriving carpentry business of the Lorenz family when he and Elisabeth married.  Basically, he was a "mail order groom" after Elisabeth put an ad in the paper for a carpenter following the death of her father.

Ursula was almost 16 years old when the family lost all they had as the Soviet Red Army invaded their hometown in January 1945.  Forced out of their home by the invasion of their city, (and with Bernhardt already gone to fight and captured in the war) they became refugees and walked away with nothing but the clothes on their backs.  The journey from their home was perilous and fraught with disease and starvation, not to mention almost being separated by the soldiers of war.  By the sheer grace of God, the family ended up in Regensburg, Germany and found shelter in a Catholic Church with some compassionate nuns who took them in.  The family stayed in Regensburg and Bernhardt miraculously returned to them after being held as a prisoner of war in Siberia.

Ursula lied about her age and began working in an Army Mess Hall during the war.  She would scrape leftover food from the plates of the soldiers to smuggle out food to take home to the rest of her family, literally keeping them from starving to death. It was in that Army Mess Hall where she was asked out on a date by her future husband, Jackie, a soldier in the American Army.  They eventually married in Germany, and Jackie brought her back to the United States as his "war bride".  Ursula learned how to read English by looking at the comic strips in their local newspaper.  One of the proudest days of her life was when she became an American Citizen.  The only time they were apart was when Jackie served for 13 months with his Army Unit in Korea. They were married for 74 years.

The family would like to especially thank Cheryl Martin, Hospice Nurse, for her kindness and loving care of our mother in her passing.

Berryhill Funeral Home assisted the family.
