Elizabeth Hall BarrettApril 5, 1945-December 28, 2012On December 28, 2012, the most beautiful, wonderful person on earth, my wife, Elizabeth, died very unexpectedly. There are no words to describe a loss such as this.Elizabeth was born at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, where her father, Dr. Byron Ellsworth Hall practiced medicine. Elizabeth's mother, Elizabeth Jane Cargill, was also born in Minneapolis. After the family relocated in the San Francisco Bay area, she and her siblings soon graduated from various colleges and spread throughout the United States. Brother R. Cargill Hall and his wife, Shirley, reside in Arlington, TX. They have two children. Sister Mary Hall Kogen, resides in Portland, OR. Mary has two daughters, Leah and Amy. Her brother, Christopher Hall died in September 2012.Elizabeth has two children by a previous marriage, Elizabeth Courtney Schoeberl, married to David Schoeberl. They have two children Gray, 15 and Landis 13, and reside in Lake Oswego, OR. Son Samuel Birchard Williams is married to Miriam Elena Calderon. They reside in Silver Spring, MD with their beautiful 6 year old twins, Roman and Lucy.Elizabeth, or "Gaga" as the grandchildren named her, was also a living stepmother to Tom's two children. Mike Barrett, wife LaDonna and daughter, Caitlin resides in Manhattan Beach, CA. Daughter Kimberley Minick and her wonderful daughter, Jennifer Elaine resides in Carlsbad, CA.Elizabeth graduated from the Kathryn Branson School of Ross, CA; Redwood High School, Lakespur, CA, and attended Arizona State University. Elizabeth lived in the Charbonneau District of Wilsonville, OR. She was a member of the Charbonneau Women's Golf Association, the Together We Can Do It project, and Boys and Girls Aid Bridge group. She was the consummate volunteer for almost every event that improved and enhanced the golfing experience at Charbonneau. Perhaps her best legacies are The Concert on the Green, and the 2012 Pin and Rake Tournament. Her "artwork" for the various major club events is legendary, right up to the life-size giraffe for a Kings and Queens Tournament. Charbonneau has lost one of its most devoted and energetic volunteers.In 1979 she married Thomas Michael Barrett. They resided in Laguna Beach, Santa Barbara (1979-1989), then moved to Oregon. She was very active in home remodeling and as a real estate agent in Lake Oswego. Tom and Elizabeth retired in Lake Oswego in 1998, and move to Charbonneau in 2006.Words cannot describe the energy, passion, and love for life Elizabeth displayed day after day. She leaves behind dozens of friends who were constantly amazed by her boundless energy and of being a volunteer to so many events and committees. She cared for everyone and everything. There are no immediate plans for a service. Elizabeth has requested her remains fall gently into some dolphins in warm water.She was simply the best person who ever lived.
