TIARA SHONTALE HALL

**In Loving Memory of Tiara Shontale Hall ("T Money")**

It is with heavy hearts that we honor the vibrant life of Tiara Shontale Hall, affectionately known as "T Money," who left us far too soon. Born on July 19, 2007, to Shawana Lane and Terry Hall, Tiara was a lifelong resident of Dallas, Texas. As she approached her graduation, a bright senior in the Class of 2026 at North Dallas High School, she exemplified the joy and excitement of youth, eagerly anticipating her senior prom and the culmination of her academic journey.

Tiara infused every day with her spirited presence, showing the world her ability to conquer challenges. Her resilience shone through in every area of her life:

- In athletics, she was a dedicated competitor, showcasing her talent in bowling, track and field, and proudly representing her community in Special Olympics basketball.

- Academically, Tiara was not just a student; she was an innovator. As a member of the Honor Society and the winner of the Adaptive Science Fair, she also played a crucial role in the Adaptable Robotics team, inspiring her peers with her creativity and intellect.

- In her community, Tiara found fulfillment through work-based learning, where she cherished her connection with children at Head Start Preschool and took great pride in her role at Lone Star Donuts.

A social butterfly, Tiara reveled in life's adventures, embracing each school field trip and opportunity to explore with her friends. Her faith was paramount, and she gave her life to Christ through Young Life Ministries, learning to navigate her journey with grace. Tiara was also a proud graduate of the Dodd Education Support Inc. Safe and Sound teen program.

While Tiara was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Shawana Lane, and her grandmother, Johnny Mae Hall, her spirit remains alive in the hearts of her devoted father, Terry Hall Sr., her stepmother, Christine Garrett, and her brother, Terry Hall Jr. She leaves behind a loving circle of relatives from the Hall and Garrett families, along with countless friends who cherished her vibrant spirit.
