Mackenzie Olivia Hall

Mackenzie Olivia Hall, infant daughter of Debra Miller and Adam Hall of East Moline, Illinois, departed this life on July 19, 2008 at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa.
Celebration of Life services will be held at 5:00 P.M., Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at McGinnis-Chambers Funeral Home, Bettendorf. Visitation will be from 3:30 P.M. until the time of the services on Wednesday at the funeral home. Memorials may be made to the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital Pediatric Dialysis Fund.
Mackenzie was born in Iowa City on June 18, 2008 and was baptized into the Christian faith shortly thereafter. Mackenzie’s spirit as a fighter, her perseverance, despite her dialysis treatments and her determination to live brought such strength to those that knew her. She certainly was an inspiration to her family and to the doctors, nurses and staff of the Pediatric Dialysis Unit at the University of Iowa.
Those left to honor her memory include her parents, Debra and Adam; her sister, Emily Miller; her maternal grandparents, Sue & Ron Froeschle, of Rock Island, Illinois and Tom Karstens, of Mesa, Arizona; her paternal grandparents, Sharon & Kevin Zimmerman, of Orlando, Florida and Lance & Darlene Hall, of North Carolina; her great-grandmothers, June Piff, of Moline, Illinois, Margaret Karstens, of East Moline and Iva Hall, of North Carolina; her aunt, Kelly (Chris) Bloom, of Rochester, New York; and her uncles, Mark Karstens, of Rock Island and Michael Hall, of Mesa.
Mackenzie is also survived by many more aunts, uncles and cousins, including her special great aunts, Marianne Whitmer, Rebecca Kron and Deborah Thompson.
