After a long battle with cancer, Mishael went to sleep on February 4, 2026.

She joins her parents Marvin and Beverly Hall, brother Peter Milne, Uncle Ferdinand Jones and cousins Lydia and Darby.

Mishael will be missed and remembered by her special companion Brooklyn Heights, her well loved cat. Family members, Denver “Debbie” Smith, Jael “Anna” (Jim) Lutz, Jo’el Hall, Lori Burke, John Smith.

Nephews and nieces, Tracy (Yvonne) Smith, Jeremy (Stephanie) Smith, Chelsea “Raven” Smith, Danielle (Pierre) Shumpert-Hall, Garrett “Tank” Hall and Joseph Lutz. Great nephews and nieces Dayon, Anthony, Arion, Nylah, Samantha and Jacob. Her beloved aunt Susan Jones, Cousins Kevin, Max, Justin, Lilah, Sandy, David, Russell and Susie. Along with many friends and extended family members.

Mishael was a dedicated servant of Jehovah. She remained a faithful witness even during hardships. Mishael was baptized on June 27, 1973 at The Divine Victory International Convention in Chicago, Illinois.

She loved her spiritual family. Seeing the them at meetings and assemblies gave her great joy. When assembly time would roll around she would share lapel pins, bracelets and activity books for the children. If she was unable to personally attend she sent these items and treats to be distributed on her behalf. Mishael has sent lapel pins to other countries around the world. Recently she purchased over 500 lapel pins to send to Zimbabwe and Nigeria.

If you knew Mishael, then you knew about her cookies! She was known as that “cookie lady” at the assemblies. As an avid baker her cookies were infamous. She named her cookies with different and special ingredients after family members, occasions or special events. Once and awhile she would use “cricket” flour, it always made the friends taste with trepidation. Her recipes were never written down or watched being made. She said that even if someone had the recipe it wouldn’t turn out the same because it was the love in her hands that made them special. During the pandemic she would make cookies for the friends and her community to spread love and cheer.

Mishael was a bargain shopper. She loved discounts and coupons. One of her favorite things to purchase besides shoes was school supplies. Every school year she provided school supplies for the family, the congregation, community and adopted classroom teachers. A school in the Philippines received regular shipments of school and art supplies, books and small toys. Her generosity was just another way to show love.

Mishael enjoyed working at Pick N Save for over 20 years. Though many days were long and tiring she would joke and say, “I’ve been working like a Hebrew Slave.” Her customers loved her, she remembered things they liked, remembered their names inside and out of work, and liked sharing recipes. The customers appreciated her looking out for their wallets when she would say, “don’t buy that today it goes on sale tomorrow or soon,” Mishael had to wear a uniform that included wearing black shoes. When not working she was known for wearing distinctively colorful footwear.

Mishael was looking forward to seeing all her friends and new friends at the upcoming international convention in Milwaukee this August. She was so very hopeful her chemotherapy treatments would have given her that opportunity. It is without question she will be missed by those who truly knew her.

Mishael’s family would like to thank:

All the friends and family of the congregation for their love, friendship and spiritual support.
