Colleen Robin Hall, 51, a Sandy Hook resident for 24 years, died unexpectedly January 28. Ms Hall was the beloved wife of Michael Anthony Hall. She was born in Freehold, N.J., on May 13, 1965, a daughter of the late Freda and Stanley Chojnacki of Tenet, N.J.

"Ci," as she was known by her family and friends, had a passion for horses and all other animals. She had an immense love of gardening and all of nature. She always had a smile, accompanied by energetic laughter, that would always brighten up a room and leave hearts warm forever.

Ms Hall was truly a kind, caring, and loving women who will be missed by all who were fortunate to make her acquaintance or call her friend.

In addition to her husband, her sons, Tyler Michael Hall and Justin Charles Hall of Sandy Hook; her sisters, Sheila, Rachel, and Laura Rose of New Jersey and Irene of New York; her brother, Stanley of New Jersey; and many nieces, nephews, and in-laws in New York and New Jersey survive her. Her brother Steven predeceased her.

Services are private.
