Kathleen Asay Hall Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Kathleen (Kathy) Asay Hall, 73, passed away in her home in Orem, Utah on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 surrounded by her family. She was born on May 15, 1943 in Ogden, Utah to Bert and Sally Asay. Kathy married Richard D. Hall on December 10, 1964. The marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake City Temple on June 7, 1965. Kathy had a great sense of humor, sharing endless laughs with friends, loved ones, and even new acquaintances. She wouldn’t let someone pass her by without first giving them a friendly welcome or warm hug. You could always depend on her, and she never expected anything in return for her generosity. That was the kind of life Kathy lived – a life of service out of pure love. Apart from her tremendous heart, Kathy also had an adventurous streak. She was known by her family as a skydiving enthusiast, paragliding hero, and trampoline extraordinaire – but the most important titles she held were wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She was always willing to try new things and inspired others to be open and receptive to exciting challenges. Kathy loved to learn about her pioneer ancestors and conveyed their stories to her family through vivid language and earnest expression. She proudly belonged to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She found incredible joy and fulfillment through her church callings and faithfully served two LDS senior-couple missions alongside her husband: the first in Indiana, Indianapolis and the second in Atlanta, Georgia. Her gentle spirit, happiness and love will be greatly missed by her family and all who knew her. Kathy is survived by her husband, Richard; 5 children: Jaimie (Dick) Todd of Orem, Utah; Rex (Chris) Hall of Mapleton, Utah; Dan (Tammy) Hall of Spanish Fork, Utah; Maureen Hall of Orem, Utah; and Larry (Elena) Hall of Orem, Utah; 15 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren; and one sister, Sandy (Jim) Harrison of Mesa, Arizona. Kathy was preceded in death by her parents, Bert and Sally Asay and her brother, Mike. Funeral services will be held at 11 am, Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at the Lakeridge 8th Ward Chapel, 80 West 900 South, Orem, Utah. A viewing for family and friends will be held on Tuesday, January 24, 2017 at the church from 6pm-8pm and Wednesday from 9am-10:30am, prior to services. Interment will be at the Vine Bluff Cemetery in Nephi, Utah, 1200 North 400 East. Condolences may be expressed at www.bergmortuary.com.
