Zore’ Childers Hall was born on Sept. 9, 1919 in San Antonio to Josephine (Childers) Hall and Bernie Hall. When she was ten years old she was baptized at Beacon Hill Baptist Church. While growing up she mastered the piano and loved to play all of her life. In Sept. of 1941 she went to work for the Eighth Service Command at Fort Sam Houston. In Dec. of 1943, the Service Command was transferred to Dallas, so Zore’ moved away from her parents. While working in Dallas, she met and married William Gordon Humphries July 24, 1944. She watched her brand new husband go off to war. After the war was over, they chose to stay in the Dallas area. They were blessed with twin boys, William Ray (Bill) and Robert Gordon (Bob) in 1949.

While the boys were growing up, Zore’ was involved in their lives. She made sure the boys were always in Sunday school, church choir and church activities. After Zore’ and Gordon both retired they moved to Marble Falls.
