This spring, she and two friends received a gold rating at the state competition for their Focus on Children presentation. She also won the FCCLA Member of the Year award.

Hallie’s bubbly personality made her so many friends. She was popular among many and was elected basketball homecoming queen this year as a sophomore by her peers.

Hallie will be missed by her boyfriend, several close friends, and countless others.

Hallie loved her family, especially her mom. She was very proud of the close bond they shared. She was also a loving big sister.
