Hall joined the Rockford association in 1983 where she worked as an IT specialist. She was named association executive in 1998 and retired in 2007.

“Terrie’s desire to help REALTORS® become successful in their day-to-day operations, her maternal personality, and her vivacious humor will be remembered by all,” according to a statement issued by the association Thursday afternoon.

She had been battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

After Hall found out she had ALS, she worked to create a support group for those stricken with the disease in the Rockford area.

Funeral arrangements were incomplete.
