Everyone who knew Linda knows that these two attributes, love of family and kindness to all, characterized her life.  Born in Salt Lake City, UT, on June 27, 1942 to Clint and Ina Young, Linda enjoyed a wonderful childhood, and demonstrated her love for her parents throughout their lives.  She attended Highland High School and the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.  With her first husband, Richard Newman, she gave birth to her two sons, Troy and Derek, whom she loved completely.  After moving to Reno, NV, she became Registrar at Reed High School.  (Several of her colleagues say she ran the school!)  In Reno she formed several close friendships whose kindness she always reciprocated.  In addition to her Registrar responsibilities, she was an advisor to the ski club, drawing on the expert skiing skills she developed while living in UT.  At age 50, she married Jim Hall and moved to Aptos CA.  She and Jim enjoyed watching three grandchildren, Michele, Zach and Allie, grow into wonderful adults.  Linda was well known in Aptos for her friendliness as she rode her green cruiser bicycle throughout the neighborhood and along the beach.  She and Jim enjoyed many trips together, including Hawaii, Great Britain, France and Mexico, and summer vacations in Graeagle, CA.  Linda is survived by her husband, Jim, sons Derek (Jen) and Troy, grandchildren Michele, Zach and Allie, cousin Pamela and “little sister” Sue Baker.
