Ber driver shot remembered as loving mother, sister
The 61-year-old Colum- bus woman shot and killed in Clark County last month was remembered as an adoring mother, accom- plished home chef and entrepreneur.
Lo-letha Toland-hall, who went by Letha, was shot and killed March 25 in Madison Twp. by Wil- liam Brock, 81, according to the Clark County Sher- iff ’s Office, attempting to pick up a package for her job as an Uber driver.
According to her obit- uary, Hall attended Ohio State University for hor- ticulture, having “an avid love for gardening.” She was close to sisters Melissa and Marquita, with whom she “shared countless adventures, from child- hood pranks to late-night heart-to-heart conversations.”
Hall was proud of being the oldest grand- child, never letting her siblings and cousins forget it, according to her obitu- ary. “Teasibly, she would remind them that she was the oldest and they had to obey her.”
Hall had one child, Mario Hall, who she “adored,” according to her obituary. The two had an “unbreak- able bond.”
“If you saw Letha, you more than likely saw Mario,” the obituary stated. “She has planted seeds of motherly love, encouragement and con- fidence in him. As Mario grew and matured, Letha gave him the freedom to explore, to stumble and to rise. Yet, through it all, she remained his stead- fast guide, celebrating his victories, comforting his wounds and always tending to his heart with ten- derness and care.”
Hall retired from the Regional Income Tax Agency and previously worked at the Bureau of Workers Compensation, the Kipp Academy in North Carolina and St. Vincent’s Behavioral Health Center. She worked for Uber and also started her own jan- itorial service.
She was a member of Faith Ministries Church and when she moved to North Carolina, she continued to attend online. Hall returned to Columbus last year and “reunited with her church family.”
Hall enjoyed gardening, fishing and cooking, and she was known for buttery pound cakes.
Hall’s life was celebrated at Faith Ministries on April 5.
