Kathleen M. Hall
age 56, passed away at her home in Long Beach, CA surrounded by family after a long battle with cancer on Sunday, December 31, 2017. She was born on September 25, 1961 in East Chicago, Indiana to Jim and Judy McCarthy. Kathy was a 1981 graduate of Highland, IN high school. Kathy graduated from IU Northwest where she received a degree in X-Ray Technology before eventually moving to San Diego, CA. In 1989 Kathy met her husband Robert Hall in San Diego whom she later married on February 15, 1992. They moved around the country from San Diego to Orange County to Syracuse, New York and eventually Indianapolis for 18 years. While in Syracuse they had two children. Every place Kathy lived she made friends as no one was a stranger, all fell in love with her infectious personality. She worked as an X-ray tech in each location until stepping away to be a full time MOM in 1998, a job that she so dearly loved and excelled in. In 2002 Kathy began her battle with cancer, this is where she made her greatest impact on those around her, through connections with fellow patients. She was a determined self-advocate never letting the disease prevent her from living life. She openly researched and shared her knowledge and experiences through many support groups and infusion room visits. Her strength and positive attitude in battling cancer was an inspiration to all she encountered. Kathy worked at Kohl's in Brownsburg which was a huge source of support to her. She was a diehard Colts fan. She is survived by her beloved husband of 25 years, Robert; son Cameron, daughter Kira, siblings Kevin, Maura and Sean.
