Renate "Renee" Hall

Renate R. Hall, age 86, of Northville, passed away on November 9, 2026. She was born on November 30, 1939, in Nuremberg, Germany, the daughter of Friedrich and Lotte Meyer. Known as Renee to her many friends, she grew up in Germany before moving to the United States at the age of 19. She married William Hall on August 4th, 1990, and they shared several wonderful years together until his passing on December 31, 1995.

Renee was a proud Northville resident for more than 40 years. She spent over 30 years as a nurse for Dr. William Ross in Plymouth, where she was his trusted right hand. She especially loved working in family practice, building lasting relationships and caring for generations of the same families. After retirement, she continued her passion for helping others by working for Visiting Angels.

Renee was an active member of Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church in Livonia, where her warm smile and friendly Sunday greetings will be fondly remembered by fellow parishioners.

She was also a longtime member of the Corvette Legends Club, serving as club secretary and an engine judge at competitions. She took great pride in her award-winning 1996 white Corvette convertible with its beautiful bright red interior, which she meticulously maintained and proudly showed throughout Michigan and Windsor.

Renee loved gardening and took great pride in her immaculate home and beautiful flower beds. Her independent spirit stayed with her well into her 80s, when she was still raking her own leaves. She also enjoyed skiing in Northern Michigan and golfing with her husband. Together, they belonged to a golf league and enjoyed many trips up north.

Renee will be remembered for her caring heart, warm smile, independence, attention to detail, and the many friendships she treasured throughout her life.

Renee is survived by her son, Kirk (Geri) Hay; her grandchildren, Nick (Emma) Hay and Zack (Mallory) Hay; her great grandchildren, Emmet, Beatrix, Dorian, Olivia, with another on the way; her dear friend Rebecca (Dave) Webber, and several nieces and nephews in Germany. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and her sisters.

Visitation will be held Saturday, November 14, 2026 from 10am until Noon with a memorial service beginning at Noon at Casterline Funeral Home, 122 West Dunlap, Northville. In lieu of flowers, contributions would be appreciated to the American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 6704, Hagerstown, MD 21741.
