Roberta Lynne Hall

Roberta Lynne (Banks) Hall, 83, of Hudson, died Tuesday, May 12, 2026 after a courageous seven-month battle with bone cancer. For more than 21 years, she was the beloved wife of the late Charles H. Hall Jr. She was born in Beverly, Mass., on Jan. 19, 1943, a daughter of the late Charles E. and Barbara M. (Fiendle) Banks. She was educated in Danvers, Mass., Public Schools, graduating in 1961 from Holten High School (now Danvers High School). After high school, Roberta attended Winthrop Community Hospital School for Practical Nurses, earning certification to become a licensed practical nurse. Upon marrying Charles Hall in 1964, the couple lived in Billerica, Mass., for a few years before moving to Hudson and raising their two children there. Roberta worked for a time in sales at the former Miller’s Shoe store in downtown Nashua. But for the bulk of her professional career, she was a receptionist for the Nashua School District, retiring in 2007. Roberta’s top priority was her family. She especially enjoyed baking for holiday gatherings – the more, the merrier. And she was known to be extraordinarily generous with gift giving during Christmas, particularly to her grandchildren but also to other family members and her wide circle of friends. Roberta also enjoyed gardening, visiting Cape Cod and Vermont, and adopted several dogs throughout her adult life, including a Yorkie named Archie who was a steady companion for more than 11 years. Survivors include her daughter, Barbara (Hall) O’Brien and her husband, Daniel, of Hudson; her son, Kevin C. Hall and his wife, Susan, of Hudson; four grandchildren, Megan O’Brien, of Washington, D.C., Sarah O’Brien and her fiance, James McInerney, of Derry, Connor Hall, of Hudson, and Garrett Hall, of Hudson; three brothers, C. Rodney Banks, of Hillsdale, N.Y., and Florida, Roger Banks and his wife, Patrice, of Jackson, Wyo., and Robert Banks and his wife, Patricia, of Freedom, N.H., and Florida; a sister-in-law, Claudia Hall, of Billerica, Mass.; and several nieces, nephews and friends. Besides her parents and husband, Roberta was predeceased by a brother, Russell Banks; her sister, Dakota Raine; two brothers-in-law, Norman Hall and Peter Tirrell; and three sisters-in-law, Joyce Banks, CC Banks and Pat Banks. Following cremation, a time of visitation will be held on Monday June 1st from 4:00pm - 6:00pm in the Dumont-Sullivan Funeral Home, 50 Ferry Street in Hudson. A private burial for the family will take place in Fox Hill Cemetery in Billerica, MA.
