Melinda Jarecki Hall went to her heavenly home on October 8, 2022, after a sudden illness. Born December 21, 1952, in Brooklyn, NY to parents Betty Israel Jarecki and Joe Jarecki, she moved to Asheville, NC with her family in 1967 and graduated from Reynolds High School in 1970. Melinda graduated in 1974 from Western Carolina University with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work. She devoted her professional career to assisting others in several facilities. She retired in 2016 from Black Mountain Neuro-Medical Center where she used her kind heart and professional expertise to lighten the burden for the residents and their families. Her side professional interest was real estate which led her to earn her NC Broker’s license. Melinda was a devout Christian, working with the Child Evangelism Fellowship for years, serving two of those years as the program director at Nebo Elementary School. She was a youth leader and served on various committees at Mount Home Baptist Church in Morganton, NC. Most recently she enjoyed assisting her husband in leading an adult Bible study class at Garden City Baptist Church, Myrtle Beach, SC. Her volunteer work also included being a life-time member of the Disabled Americans Auxiliary. Melinda’s many talents included decorating her home. She loved shopping for the perfect piece and especially enjoyed finding a bargain. Her eye for design was a natural gift. She was an avid hostess, entertaining friends and family with big holiday gatherings or impromptu get-togethers. Melinda would say she loved to cook “tasty” food, but friends and family would call it chef-inspired or out-out-this-world. Her recent years living in Myrtle Beach she and her husband enjoyed attending shows, dining out and working in their yard, with Melinda especially loving her roses. Melinda leaves husband Thomas Hall of the home, brother and sister-in-law Bill and Beverly Hall of Rutherfordton, NC, sister-in-law Jane McCall of Spindale, NC, numerous nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, a very special and dear friend, Breanna Swartz of Morganton, NC and furbabies Willie and Charlie. A memorial service will be held at 12:00 PM Thursday, October13, 2022 at Garden City Baptist Church. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Child Evangelism Fellowship or Samaritan’s Purse.
