Cole, Lyndall Hall

Lyndall Mae Hall Cole, 82, of Pilot, VA passed away on November 3, 2024. Lyndall was preceded in death by her husband and love of her life, William (Bill) Cole; parents, Alfred and Maeda Hall; brother Tommy, half –brothers Roy, Martin, Lewis, and Ernie; half-sisters Emma Bower and Alberta Agee; nephew Chris Hall; and in-laws Irvin and Elsie Cole.

All her life, Lyndall enjoyed farm life. She graduated from Floyd County High School in 1960 and was a star player and co-captain of the girls’ basketball team.

To say that Lyndall was dedicated to her career, is an understatement! She started with Devore & Grubbs Law Firm and had the honor of serving as Judge’s Secretary for both the Honorable Kenneth I. Devore (Lina) and the Honorable Ray W. Grubbs (Betsy) as they elevated to Judgeship. Completing over 40 years of loyal service as Circuit Court Reporter, she worked with so many wonderful people.

In their free time, Lyndall and Bill clerked for McNeil Auctions for over 50 years. Lyndall spent her life ensuring that others were taken care of, especially her family. She made sure that her legacy will live own through her children and grandchildren.

The family would like to extend profound thanks to Dr. Isaac Spence and his nurse Kim; all staff at Commonwealth Senior Living at Christiansburg; and Medi Hospice.
