KINSMAN, Ohio (MyValleyTributes) – The Lord has recently called home one of earth’s most precious angels, to join him in eternal rest. Darice Draa-Hall, 51 of Kinsman, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at her home, the very one she grew up in as a child, after a long and courageous ten year battle with cancer.

Darice was born on March 6, 1975, in Greenville, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Roy Draa and Sharon Harvey.

She grew up in Kinsman, Ohio, where she attended Joseph Badger High School and graduated high school in 1994. She later went on to attend college for a short period at Kent State University.

She most recently worked as an operations technician at Luxium Solutions in Hiram, Ohio, where she grew special crystals that were used in the manufacturing of MRI machines and other tools used in gas and oil exploration.

Darice dedicated her entire life to her family, pouring boundless love, kindness, patience, hope, wisdom, and so much more into raising her three boys. She was a masterful gardener, with hands blessed by thumbs greener than grass. She loved canning the treasures from her own backyard. She was an amazing cook; the flavor and love she added to every home-cooked meal was second to none, seasoned with many tips and tricks obtained from generations past that she loved to teach to those around. With a strong passion for sewing, she could create or fix anything you could dream of. She also enjoyed scrolling Facebook, staying connected to the world she knew and loved. But above all, she cherished spending time with her beloved friends and family, continuously planting the seeds of moments and memories for her loved ones to remember forever.

She leaves behind a legacy of love in the hearts of her husband, Dale Hall; her loving children, Joenus Hall, Michael (Marissa) Miller, Jr. and Zachary Williams; her fur-babies, Max and Koda; her sister, Denise (Ken) Moore; her niece, Ally Moore and nephew, Brian Moore and her brother, Jimmy Engle and many more loving friends and family who will carry her spirit forward. She was preceded on her journey by her father, Roy Draa; her mother, Sharon Harvey and her brother, Brock Engle; along with many other cherished loved ones who won’t be forgotten.

Per her wishes, there will be no funeral services or calling hours. A celebration of her remarkable life will be held during the summer months ahead, when the sun is high and the world is in full bloom. Though she has stepped into eternal rest, the seeds of love and wisdom she planted in her sons and family will continue to grow for generations to come. We carry her spirit in our hearts every day, comforted by the boundless love she gave us and the hope that we will one day walk beside her again.

Arrangements are entrusted to the Staton-Borowski Funeral Home, 962 North Road NE, Warren, Ohio 44483, 330- 394-6200. Dedicated To Serving Your Loved Ones.
