Hattie Wadsworth Hall was born to Preston G. and Alice Harrison Hall on April 25, 1917 in Winnsboro, SC. She was preceded in death by sisters: Fannie Hall Smithers of Smithfield, VA and Elizabeth Hall Boyd of New York. She attended school in Fairfield County in Winnsboro. She relocated to Greensboro, NC after the death of her brother-in-law to live with her sister, Alberta. Hattie was baptized when she was twelve years of age at Old White Oak Baptist Church in Winnsboro, SC. Reverend H. W. Anderson was pastor.

Hattie later moved to White Plains, NY to further her education. She was trained at the Infant and child Care Institute, and received certification to care for children. Her work allowed her to fulfill a desire to travel.
