Amelia Hall (nee DeMaio) died peacefully in her home alongside her best friend and sister Agnes. Millie was known for her welcoming, loving, and kind spirit. She was a devoted mother, sister and grandmother who absolutely adored her family. Spending time with loved ones was what fulfilled her. That, and welcoming people around her table. To get an invite to Sunday dinner was coveted by all who knew her.
She took joy in anything related to nature, especially birds and foxes. In addition to the people in her life, she loved her garden, loud music, great food, and a full house. She truly cherished the simple pleasures of life, and she loved with devotion.
Amelia grew up in Chester, PA and graduated from Notre Dame High School. She moved to Delaware in the early 1970’s. She was most recently employed by Brandywine School District, doing what she loved, providing meals for children in her community. She was preceded in death by her husband Lawrence Hall, who passed away in 1985. Mille took the job of raising her 3 daughters seriously. To know her, was to know her girls, and if you know her girls, you knew Millie.
She will continue to be loved by all who knew her, especially her daughters, Adrienne Hall, Ann Marie Hall Nefferdorf, Jennifer Hall, her ride or die, Agnes Hollar, her grandchildren Matera and Strummer Nefferdorf and sons in law, Eric Nefferdorf and Dennis Schwendiman.
A visitation will take place on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at Chandler Funeral Home, 2506 Concord Pike, Wilmington, DE 19803 beginning at 12:00 PM. A memorial service will follow at 1:00 PM. A gathering celebrating the beautiful life Millie lived will follow, with details to be shared at the memorial service.
