Kaethe Hall, 81, of Vacaville CA, passed away on Saturday morning, December 3, 2022, at Pacifica Senior Living in Vacaville.

A private family service will take place at Vaca Hills Chapel.  Cremation rights have been accorded.

Kaethe Hall was born on July 10, 1941, in Dusseldorf Germany, an only child of Hedwig (Zeimet) & Johann Link.  Gifted with artistic skills, she graduated from the German school system with two scholarships, one for Business & another for the Arts.  She would attend a private school for dress design during 1958 & 1959, yet transitioned to work in the wine production industry for several years to assist in supporting her parents financially.  In 1961, she met and fell in love with Leon E. Gibson, who had been stationed at Spangdahlem Air Force Base. She married and became Kaethe Gibson in 1962, and would cross the ocean for love in 1963 to the United States and eventually become an American citizen. That same year, she gave birth to her only child, Clay A. Gibson and remained married for fifteen years. Leon Gibson remarked in his later years, that he owed his career success in life to her incredible support as his spouse. She would later find love & remarry in 1982, to Lawrence C. Hall and once again crossed the ocean for love to support her husband's work with Lockheed Martin for assignments in Bahrain and Germany. Lawrence Hall would also credit his career success, to her devotion as his wife.  A beautiful Lady inside and out, she was an inspiration for leading with eternal grace, poise, laughter, love & kindness that touched the lives of many. She loved gardening and animals, including Cats & Hummingbirds.  She cherished her relationships and kept cards received throughout life.

Meaningful writings that spoke to her included "Desiderata" and a timely passage that read:

"God saw that you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you, And whispered, 'Come to Me.' A golden heart stopped beating; Hard working hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."

Those left to honor her memory include her husband of over 40 years, Lawrence C. Hall; son Clay A. Gibson & spouse Gary Collins; as well as Lawrence Hall's children Edna Hall-Love, Terry L. Hall, Sr, and Kathy A. Spruill; and cousin Elisabeth Platz.  Additionally her extended family including long term, loving Friends, Violet & Yvonne Bittner, Elke & Pete Sjoberg, and Heide Trupe. She was preceded in death by her Parents, and first husband Leon E. Gibson.
