, most recently of Lyndonville, Vt., went home to heaven on Saturday, March 21, 2015. Louise was born in St. Johnsbury, Vt., on May 13, 1934, to George Harvey Frye and Ramona Hutchins Frye. Louise graduated from Danville High School in 1952 and attended Champlain Business College in Burlington, Vt. On Sept. 4, 1954, she married Donald L. Hale who predeceased her in 2007. Louise and Don had four children: Linda McGregor Essaff (Paul), St. Johnsbury,Vt., Keith Hale, who predeceased her in 1986, Timothy Hale (Lisa), Waterford, Vt., and Bonny Paradis (Carlos Carrero), Rutland, Vt. She is the grandmother of Robert McGregor (Tracey), Milton, Vt., Tennille McGregor, Milton, Vt., Justin Hale (Sabrina Pych) and Corey Hale, Brattleboro, Vt., Zachary Hale, who predeceased her in 1984, Emily Hale, Boston, Mass., Katie Carpenter (Ryan), Lunenburg, Vt., Rebecca Hale, Lyndonville, Vt., and Jessica Paradis (Daniel Villarreal), Stephanie Paradis (Nick Blair) and Samantha Paradis (Emil Schumann), all of Rutland, Vt. She is the great-grandmother of 16, including two babies who will be born in 2015. As she was growing up on the family farm in Danville, Louise decided that she wanted to leave the farm when she grew up. She got her wish. Following her wedding, she and Don moved to Connecticut. This was just one of the many places she lived. While in Connecticut, Don enlisted in the Army and as an Army wife, Louise lived in Newfoundland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Munich (Germany), Arkansas, Arizona, Vermont, Virginia, Frankfurt (Germany), and Florida. For two years of her marriage, she was virtually a single mother as Don was deployed to Viet Nam during the war. Germany was her favorite place. After Don's death, Louise returned to Vermont and lived in Waterford and then in St. Johnsbury at the Colonial Apartments. She enjoyed her apartment for two years before declining health made it necessary for her to move to the assisted living facility at the Pines Rehabilitation and Health Center in Lyndonville. Over the years, Louise enjoyed working as a waitress. When Don retired from the Army, they owned and operated Montgomery Wards in St. Johnsbury where she supported the business operations. After many successful years of building the business, Louise and Don decided to "retire." They spent time traveling in their motor home and finally settled in Florida, where Louise worked in the office at Citrus Valley Campground. She and Don loved to camp and snowmobile in their younger years. They were members of Kingdom Kampers and Coles Pond Sledders. In the beginning, she rode with Don on his snowmobile, but while on a trip to Maine she agreed to Don's suggestion to drive her own. She found out she really enjoyed being in the driver's seat and she spent countless hours traveling the trails with many friends. She enjoyed watching TV especially soap operas, reading and eating out. With the help of family, she learned how to use a computer to play games and loved to scroll through Facebook. Louise will be remembered for her sweet and gentle spirit, her sense of humor (which she never lost even during her fight with cancer) and her amazing strength. Louise is survived by her siblings, Marylene Sevigny (Walter), Danville, Vt., John Frye, Lunenburg, Vt., Georgiana Page, Groton, Vt., Berton Frye (Virginia), Danville, Vt., and William Frye (Kathy), Passumpsic, Vt. In addition to Don, Keith, and Zachary, she was predeceased by her parents, her son-in-law Douglas McGregor, son-in-law Richard Paradis and several other family members. Calling hours will be at Sayles Funeral Home, 525 Summer Street, St. Johnsbury, Vt., on Friday, March 27, from 6-8 p.m. A celebration of Louise's life will be held Saturday, March 28, at 11 a.m. at Lyndon Bible Church, 250 Brown Farm Road, Lyndonville, VT.

He was chief economist for Kemper Financial Services, which he joined in 1977, and was named global chief economist for Zurich Financial Services in 1995.

A Chicago-based macroeconomist, he was chairman of David Hale Global Economics, Inc. The firm's clients included asset management companies worldwide. With his wife Lyric Hughes Hale, he co-authored the book "What's Next? Unconventional Wisdom on the Future of the World Economy", which was published by Yale University Press in 2011. David was a member of the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations, the Japan America Society, President's Circle of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, the National Association of Business Economists, and the New York Society of Security Analysts.

He was a renowned speaker who addressed audiences at the World Economic Forum, the Federal Reserve Conference at Jackson Hole, and the Indaba Mining Conference in South Africa. He was known for his ability to distill complex economic issues and relate them to both current geopolitical conditions and economic history. His encyclopedic knowledge of global economics, and his long-term relationships with policymakers and market participants throughout the world gave him a unique vantage point that contributed to his excellent forecasting record. His fields of special interest and expertise included central banking, especially the Federal Reserve, trade, resources, energy, Africa, China, Japan, and foreign exchange issues. David was strong-willed, an adventuresome explorer, and a hardworking spirit who was famous for his wit and memory of obscure historic facts. He was constantly seeking economic knowledge and enjoyed the company of colleagues and friends. However, his favorite place was always being at home with his loving family, as husband, father and grandfather. He most enjoyed public speaking, reading global newspapers, and writing on his manual typewriter. He was a parishioner of Sacred Heart Parish in Winnetka, Illinois.
