Hall, Edna Ione
Edna Ione Hall OGDEN - Edna Ione Hall died peacefully at her home in Ogden,
Utah on Sunday, May 1, 2005. Ione, as she was known to her friends, was born
May 25, 1921 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, daughter of Lawrence E. and Edna M.
Elliott. She spent her childhood years in Santa Fe and Roswell, New Mexico,
graduating from Roswell High School in 1940. She attended the University of
Oklahoma until her studies were interrupted by World War II and marriage to
the love of her life, Ora R. (Dick) Hall, Jr. They were married January 1,
1942 and celebrated 54 years together as partners, parents and friends until
his death in 1996. Following the war, she and her husband founded and managed
the Federal Abstract Company of Santa Fe, New Mexico. They continued as
partners in a variety of business ventures in Roswell, New Mexico from 1958 to
1970, when they "retired" to Ogden, Utah. In Ogden, they pursued additional
business endeavors through the establishment of Elliott-Hall Company with
their childre n as partners. Over the years, Ione and Dick maintained homes

to St. Andrew's Church in Roswell, New Mexico, Church of the Good Shepherd in

in her children values of tolerance, patience, acceptance and generosity of
spirit, and she encouraged them to choose to march to the sound of their own
drummer. Aside from her own children, throughout her life she thoughtfully
mentored teenagers and adults too numerous to count, earning their trust and
easing their burdens wit h wry humor, a quieting voice and timeless wisdom.
She shared with her children and grandchildren a deep love of animals of all
kinds, but especially horses, dogs and cats. Ione lived a life of community
and civic service. From Cub Scouts to Girl Scouts, library boards to public
arts organizations, she was always willing to volunteer her time and talents.

soul of horse shows and rodeos for many years. She often served as a volunteer
election judge and was proud to have voted in every election since 1942. She
