And each time that you think ofme, I know you'll miss me, too.
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
For every time y ou think ofme, I'm right there, in y our heart.

Camille Shirley Hall was born June 27, 1940 in Newark, New Jersey. She was one of twelve children born to James Harrison Cavaness and Marjorie E. Hughes. Camille grew up in Newark and was a graduate of Arts High School where she studied Music Theory. She was a member of Good Neighbor Baptist Church in Newark and sang in the gospel choir. She also joined and traveled with the professional gospel choir "Praise." Additionally, she was a proud member of the New Jersey Mass Choir.
In 2004, Camille moved to Ellenwood, Georgia to begin her retirement after 30 years of service at Lucent Technologies in New Jersey. Camille was a faithful member of Ben Hill United Methodist Church in Atlanta, GA since 2012. She was a devoted member of a Praise and Worship prayer group where several of her special friends would meet on a weekly basis.
Camille was certified as a Notary Public and found great enjoyment in using her creativity. She made beautifully colored afghans, lapghans and blankets and established her own business ''Afghans by Camille. " She made diaper celebratory cakes and further used her talents to serve as both wedding planner and bridal consultant. Her company "Weddings by Camille" coordinated several weddings for family and friends.
No one had a bigger heart than Camille - her generosity was unlimited. From time to time, she offered to pay for a shopper's groceries at her local supermarket. Her home was an open door for anyone going through hard times. A perfect day for Camille entailed shopping at her favorite store and ending the day with dinner at a restaurant with her loving husband, Jimmy. Camille enjoyed many of life's pleasures. She made yearly trips to Newark, Atlantic City and Philadelphia to visit family and friends and she vacationed regularly in Savannah, Georgia.
Her dear siblings Kenneth, George, Arthur, William, Clifford, Janet, Deborah, and Craig preceded Camille in death. She is survived by her husband of 30 years James "Jimmy" Hall; her three children Rosemarie Phillips (the late Thomas W. Phillips), Marjorie Martin (Marzuq) and William Downing, Jr. (Shelly); her siblings Albert C. Hughes, Sr. (Rosemary), Patricia Hughes, and Harriet Hughes; her niece Tracy Hughes; her nephews Albert C. Hughes, Jr., Bobby Cavaness, and Gary Cavaness; her nine grandchildren Lashonda, Tamyra, Kevin, Samantha, Meaca, Laila, William, Terrace, and Maya; and her four great grandchildren Amirah, Akil, Tatiana and Patrick, Jr.
