Hall, Edna Ione
Edna Ione Hall OGDEN - Edna Ione Hall died peacefully at her home in Ogden,

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

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

Tolhurst, Alice Francis Moore
Alice Francis Moore TolhurstNovember 7, 1919 - May 4, 2005 Wife of Frank Wm.
Tolhurst, Alice F. Tolhurst passed away May 4, 2005 in Ogden. She was born the
daughter of Foy Joseph Moore and Laura Mae Beck Moore on November 7, 1919 in
Tracy, MN. Her father died when she was quite young and she was raised by her
mother and stepfather, Alton J. Bell, on a sheep ranch near Chugwater, WY. The
work ethic created in her by taking care of the ranch during high school when
her parents worked on a different ranch prepared her for the rest of her life.
Alice raised her two children, Kathryn (Jim) Feeley, of South Ogden, and
Charles (Ginny) Broadhurst Jr, of Oak Harbor, WA, in Cheyenne, WY. They had
lived in Little Cottonwood Canyon near Salt Lake City where the children were
born when Alice's husband was stationed at Hill Field during WWII, but moved
to Cheyenne to be closer to her family when he was sent overseas. In Cheyenne
she worked at a gas refinery inspecting tanker trucks. After the war, she
worked at the VA hospital. She was employed for a short time with Convair
Astronautics before going back to federal employment, transferring to CA and
then to Hill AFB. Even though she always worked outside the home, she created
a comfortable, attractive environment for her family with her love of
decorating and gardening. Blessed with eight grandchildren, she enjoyed being
Nana to Michele, Laurie, Wendy, Brekk, Jacob, Jeff, Timothy, and David. She
had 18 great-grandchildren and 1 1/2 great-great-grandchildren. Alice and
Frank married in 1973 after they retired from Hill. Both were active with a
multitude of volunteer opportunities throughout the Ogden area for years.
Alice volunteered at the Weber Co. Library, the Weber Co. Fair Committee in a
Fabric Arts section, and other organizations. She was active in Eastern Star,
enjoying many friends made through the associations. Alice and Frank also
traveled throughout the United States, did motor home camping, and had a very
enjoyable trip to Germany a few years ago to stay with friends who had
returned home to Germany. It was Alice's second trip to Europe and one of the
highlights of her life. Because Alice had an insatiable desire to learn, she
took classes most of her adult life: college classes, woodworking, quilting,
porcelain, painting, Japanese bunka, as well as others. She always had
projects she was doing inside and outside of their homes. Alice's family
appreciates the loving care given her by the staff at Crestwood Care Center,
and by Carla and the Hospice Alliance team. Thanks to you all!!! Also
surviving are Frank's children: Jack Tolhurst, Joan Meckley and her children
and grandchildren, and Richard Thomas. Alice was preceded in death by her
parents, grandson Jacob, and Frank's son, Stephen. A memorial to honor her
will be held at 11 a.m. May 14, 2005 at the LDS chapel at 4955 Adams Ave.,
