Shirell “Shug” Hall, age 84, of London, Kentucky passed away on Saturday, January 24, 2026. He leaves behind one sister, Margueritte Martin of Nicholasville, KY along with several nieces, nephews and other family and friends to cherish his memory. He was preceded in death by his wife of 60 years, Betty Anne Hall who he lovingly referred to as Blossom; his parents, Fred and Violet Cook Hall; and by two siblings, Truman Scott Hall and John F. Hall. Shirell “Shug” Hall was a cherished member of his community and a friend to all. He leaves behind a legacy marked by kindness, faith, and genuine fellowship. Known affectionately as “Shug,” he truly never met a stranger and had a gift for making everyone feel welcome. Shug was retired from Cook Bros. Auto Parts, where he spent many years working faithfully and building lasting friendships. In retirement, he enjoyed the simple pleasures of life—golfing, cheering on UK Basketball, and taking great pride in maintaining his property. One of his greatest joys was his morning breakfast group, a circle of friends he looked forward to seeing and sharing time with each week. A member of First Baptist Church in London, Kentucky, Shug’s life reflected his steady faith and love for people. His warm smile, friendly conversation, and lively personality will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. Shug leaves behind a community richer for having known him. His presence will be deeply missed, but his kindness, laughter, and the friendships he nurtured will live on in the hearts of many.
