September 3, 1939 - November 5, 2023

Lane Hall, 84, of Damascus passed away on Sunday, November 5, 2023 in Conway, Arkansas. He was born on September 3rd, 1939 in Damascus to William L. & Ilon E. (Leslie) Hall. He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Gina Mildred Hall Mantels, William Maurice Hall and Cora Mae Hall Shaw.

Lane was a Sergeant in the United States Army and a Mason with the Damascus Masonic Lodge. Serving as the Master Mason in 1976. In September of this year, he received his 50-year pin from the Masons, presented to him by Craig Wood.

He married Joyce West of Leslie, Arkansas (formerly of Christine, TX) while stationed in Fort Ord, California. Upon his discharge, they only had enough money for one train ticket home, so he sent her by train and he hitchhiked. He beat her home by 3 days. They ran the family farm and cared for his parents until their passing; all while working full time. In 1972, Lane & Joyce purchased a burned-out grocery store in Damascus from Mr. Jimmy Lewis. They raised their four children in that grocery store, teaching life lessons like non other. After years of building a successful business, they sold the store and returned to their previous working fields. He was a retired Estimator from Nabco Mechanical & Electrical, Inc. in Conway.

Lane was instrumental in establishing the Damascus Saddle Club and participated in Rodeos as a young man. He raised AQHA horses for many years. He enjoyed deer, elk and bear hunting, where he and friends spent many years hunting near Montrose, Colorado. He loved camping, enjoying the outdoors and was an avid Razorback Basketball fan. Lane was a member of the South Side Baptist Church, north of Damascus.

Lane is survived by his wife of 64 years, Joyce Hall; four children, Nikki (Perry) Murdock of Quitman, Wesley (Lisa) Hall of Redfield, Lisa (Marvin) Holt of Harrison and Natalie (Frank) Evans of Conway.
