She was born Jan. 13, 1917, in Salt Lake City and had lived in Sun City West, Ariz., for the past 13 years. Prior to that, she had lived in Pebble Beach while she was a nurse for the Pacific Grove school district for 33 years before retiring in 1982. She moved back to the Monterey Peninsula four months ago, settling in Pacific Grove.

Mrs. Hall was a graduate of Box Elder High School in Brigham, Utah, Weber Junior College in Ogden, Utah, and the School of Nurses at Thomas Dee Hospital in Ogden. She also received a bachelor’s degree in public health from San Jose State University.

She was a member of the Lighthouse Keepers and for 16 years served on the board of the Monterey Peninsula Salvation Army. She was also a member of the Monterey Church of Religious Science and the Rip ‘n’ Sew Club in Sun City.

Mrs. Hall is survived by her daughter, Robert Hall of Pacific Grove; two sons, Howard Hall of Santa Cruz and Ralph Hall of Corralitos; three granddaughters and one great-granddaughter. Her husband, Robert, died in 1997. Memorial services will be at 2 p.m. Friday at the Monterey Church of Religious Science.
