Dorothy Marie Hall
Dorothy Marie ”MeMe” Shepherd Hall passed peacefully from this world on Monday, March 7, 2011. She was seventy-eight years old. Mrs. Hall was married for forty years to the late Thurlow Hall. Both were natives of Durham, North Carolina.
A good Air Force wife and mother, she lived around the world while Sargent Hall served our country. She was President of the PTO, Concession Stand Chair, Den Mother, and Community Leader. When her husband Thurlow retired in Florida, she started a career in the life-care industry. She worked as Services Coordinator, Marketing Director and Social Director. She worked at Canterbury Towers in Tampa and Moorings Park in Naples. After retiring herself she entered the antique business with a passion, forming a partnership with the late Leslie Solomon.
Seven years ago Mrs. Hall moved to Aiken, South Carolina to watch her grandchildren grow. She was a member of South Aiken Presbyterian Church, enjoyed gardening, traveling, and visiting with friends.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Myra Atkins Shepherd, and her father, Ralph Kermit Shepherd. She is survived by a brother, Ralph Kermit (Peggy) Shepherd, Jr. of Matthews, Alabama; two sisters, Sarah S. Fowler, and Helon S. (Larry) Fara, both of Durham, North Carolina; her daughter, Deborah H. Peaton, of St. Petersburg, Florida, sons Scot T. (Debbie) Hall, of Jacksonville, Florida, and R. Kevin (Lydia) Hall of Aiken, South Carolina; six grandsons, Jimmy (Penny) Hall, Michael Hall, and Christopher Hall of Jacksonville, Florida; Rorri Peaton of Gainesville, Florida; Shea Peaton, currently serving in Afghanistan; Jesse Hall of Aiken, South Carolina; one granddaughter, Annie-Marie Hall of Aiken, South Carolina; and one great-grandson, Joshua Hall of Jacksonville, Florida. Marie also considered Dana Solomon as family.
The family would like to offer heartfelt thanks for the loving care Marie received at Trinity on Laurens and Anchor (formerly Carriage Hills) Health and Rehabilitation Center.
A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 12, 2011 at South Aiken Presbyterian Church, located at 1711 Whiskey Road. The family will receive friends immediately following the service in the Family Life Center of the church. Private burial will occur at Florida National Cemetery.

Drag Explosion in GaYBOR
Drag Explosion in GaYBOR
On any given weekend you will find over 15 weekly scheduled drag shows in GaYBOR! Some of the locations include: Bradley’s on 7th, Chelsea Nightclub, G.BAR, Hamburger Mary’s, Honey Pot, Rise Sundays, Steam Fridays, Tease Saturdays. There are also special performances at PLAY, JJ’s, Gaspar’s Grotto & more. Drag took off in the late 70’s at a club on 7th Ave & 15th Street called, The El Goya. Later the club became Track’s & then Pleasure Dome. Today it’s Czar’s. It was very common to find local celebrities, like then Tampa Mayor Dick Greco, business leads & even some Hollywood Stars in the clubs. With this local resurgence of Drag it’s quite easy to see how The Honey Pot has become the Drag Pageant Palace of the South. Top notch performers are now flocking to GaYBOR to perform & be discovered. Reality TV Shows are almost becoming common in GaYBOR. This past weekend there were crews from Discovery, Bravo & The History Channel all here. So where is our favorite location to see a drag show in GaYBOR? The magnificent stage at The Honey Pot is perfect for the big production numbers, large custom set designs & Celebrity Stars. Taking us back to the days of The El Goya & small cocktail table seating there is a 2010 version… Hamburger Mary’s, there is something to be said about the intimate setting with great food & drinks. This is also where the promenade star of The El Goya, Miss Joey Brooks performs here weekly. So it was no surprise that the national 54 city book signing tour of “The Official Drag Handbook” started here at Hamburger Mary’s. So what is the future of Drag in GaYBOR? As Miss Brooks said, “Honey we are just getting started!”.
