Michelle Marie Hall

Michelle Marie Hall, 68, of Roseville, NC, formerly of Toledo, OH passed away on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at Duke Raleigh Hospital. Born on May 15, 1956, in Toledo, OH, she was the daughter of the late Robert Louis Badhorn and Jeannette Elizabeth Posan Badhorn.

Michelle's vibrant career in the hospitality and travel industries was a testament to her passion for creating meaningful experiences for others. She served as Catering Manager at the Columbus Zoo, where she had the honor of serving Jack Hanna’s family during his daughters' weddings. Later, as a regional representative for Dippin' Dots, Michelle traveled extensively, exploring the western United States and visiting Hawaii multiple times.

After her time with Dippin' Dots, Michelle and her husband Jeff relocated to North Carolina, where she embarked on a new venture by owning & operating her own Cruise and Vacations Pros franchise. She delighted in helping countless clients fulfill their travel dreams, always approaching her work with joy and dedication.

Michelle's love for her family was boundless, second only to her affection for her cherished dogs.

She is survived by her husband, Jeffrey Lee Hall; her two beloved dogs, Gracie and Bailey; sister, Melissa Marie Goebel & husband Christopher of Port Clinton, OH; brother, Robert Louis Badhorn, II & wife Dayna of Chandler, AZ; sister-in-law, Robin Hall Ryan & husband Bradley of Wilmington, NC; nieces and nephews: Nicholas Zielinski of Toledo, OH; Sydney Badhorn of Austin, TX; Benjamin Badhorn of Chandler, AZ; Sarah Ryan-Lizee & husband Jeffrey Lizee of Hampstead, NC and Sean Ryan & wife Meredith Eastburn of Atlanta, GA; great-nieces Gemma Lizee and Maeve Ryan; plus many friends and extended family.

A celebration of Michelle’s life will be held at a later date in Rolesville, NC, and in Toledo, OH. Her cremated remains will be laid to rest at Greenwood Memorial Park in Pennsylvania, at a future date.

Michelle's warm spirit and dedication to enriching the lives of those around her will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.
