“Hall, Crystal Diane BAR HARBOR – Crystal Diane Hall, 50, went home to be with her Lord Oct. 20, 2008, after a long, courageous battle with a debilitating illness. At the time of her departure, Crystal was at home surrounded by her family and friends. Crystal was born July 13, 1958, in Heidelberg, Germany, the daughter of Millard Wayne Hall and Marlene M. Hall. Crystal is survived by her husband, Francis “”Pancho”” Cole III; her beloved dachshunds, Fred, Chiquita and Charlie; her father, Millard W. Hall and wife, Mary, of Hardwick, Vt.; mother, Marlene Bechtold and husband, Frank, of Venice, Fla.; brother, Michael Lium-Hall and wife, Aase, of Victoria, British Columbia; niece, Tsion; and nephew, Kai. Crystal had a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Nebraska and a master’s degree in library science from Florida State University. She was working for Northeast Historic Film in 1988 when she met her future husband, and moved to Bar Harbor in 1992. She had worked as a librarian for Sumner High School before her illness made it difficult to continue. In 1998 she ran a resort motel and a coffee shop in Englewood, Fla., for several years. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Bar Harbor. She loved travel and even though confined to a wheelchair, managed to visit New York City this June. She loved her home, her dogs, her flower gardens, family, friends, shopping, jewelry, Bible study group, church and her God. She was of great intellect, wisdom and humor, who showed remarkable courage and generosity during the last 15 years as her illness progressed. She was an extremely strong-willed individual, both in fighting her own battles and in meeting the needs of others. Services will be held 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, at First Baptist Church, Bar Harbor, with Pastor Scott Records officiating. Contributions in Crystal’s memory may be made to First Baptist Church of Bar Harbor, 46 Ledgelawn Ave., Bar Harbor, ME 04609.”
