Constance Eileen was born on August 25, 1924 in rural New Richland to George and Eleanor (Johnson) Berg. She graduated from New Richland High School in 1942. She went on to complete her studies at the Minneapolis Business College. Connie began her career with the Minneapolis Teachers Retirement Association. She then moved to California to live with her aunt, and worked for the Pacific Water & Oil Company. She returned home and on June 10, 1948 she was united in marriage to Stanley “Jack” Hall on June 10, 1948 at Trinity Lutheran Church in New Richland. Connie and Jack raised their family and resided in Waseca. They lived on Lake Tetonka in Waterville for several years before returning to Waseca. Over the years she was employed with E.F. Johnson Co, the Waseca Area Chamber of Commerce, and First National Bank Insurance. For many years she owned and operated The Corner Cupboard. Most recently she had worked with her daughter at the Dress Barn at the Medford Mall. Connie was a very active volunteer in the Waseca Community. She enjoyed singing, and was a charter member of the Waseca Chorale. Connie was also very active in the Waseca Schools, having been a pen pal and mentor to elementary students over the years. She loved playing bridge with her friends, and antiquing. So many will remember her wonderful articles in the Waseca County News and Shopper, “Connie’s Corner”. Connie was a member of Christ The King Lutheran Church in Waseca and had been involved in bible study, circle, and her church choir throughout her life. Most of all Connie will be remembered as a wonderful, loving mother and grandmother, and was thrilled to have become a “great grandma” recently.
