Pama Sue Vernon Hall	June 1, 2026	Click Here	Click Here	Pama Sue Hall, age 70, passed away peacefully on June 1, 2026, in Vernal, Utah, following complications from ongoing health conditions, including coronary heart disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis. Sue was born in Vernal, Utah, to Alton Jay Vernon and Edna Grace Ashby Vernon, the youngest of six children. She spent her early years in her hometown and was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a faith she cherished throughout her life. Her relationship with her Savior remained important to her, and in her later years she found comfort in deepening her faith and drawing closer to Him. She attended Ricks College and Brigham Young University, where she pursued a degree in accounting. In her younger years, Sue worked as a bookkeeper at The Edge dance club in Provo, Utah—a fitting role for someone who loved music and dancing. She filled her home with that same joy, often playing music on her six-disc CD changer and spending hours singing and dancing in the kitchen with her family, enjoying everything from George Strait to Jewel. Sue had a love for travel and adventure. In her twenties, she explored Europe, and later in life she enjoyed frequent trips to Hawaii. She also lived in southern Utah, Eastern Washington, Arkansas, and Texas before eventually returning to her hometown of Vernal. She especially enjoyed joining her husband, Ron, on long-haul trucking trips, traveling together across the country and sharing time on the open road. She was a certified scuba diver and embraced many hobbies throughout her life, including scrapbooking, crafting, attending concerts, boating, camping, and fishing. She also had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and enjoyed breeding and raising bulldogs earlier in life and later Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Above all, Sue loved her children and cherished her time with them, and later found great joy in spending time with her grandchildren. Sue recently met her grandsons, Ozzy and Declan, just a few months before her passing. During a visit to the dinosaur museum, despite needing a wheelchair, she was soon up on her feet, chasing the boys around and playing dinosaurs with them—a moment that captured her warmth, energy, and deep love as a grandmother. She was thoughtful and consistent in showing her love, never missing a birthday or Christmas without sending gifts to each of her grandchildren, ensuring they always felt remembered and cared for. Sue was known for her independent spirit, as well as her deep appreciation for companionship and friendship. She loved her family wholeheartedly. She is survived by her husband, Ron Hall; her son, Tyler Jack O’Steen (Piper Clara Dalton); and her daughter, Anjali Dahn-Navaz Boden (Garrett Boden). She also leaves behind seven beloved grandchildren: Emma Jade O’Steen, Ozzy Vernon O’Steen, and Declan Jack O’Steen; and Malakai Ashton Boden, Lorenzo Boden, Noah Gray Boden, and Willow Eden Boden. She is also survived by her siblings Alton Deloy Vernon, Glen Karl Vernon, Ray Leon Vernon, and Shanna Lyn Balhorn. She was preceded in death by her parents, Alton Jay Vernon and Edna Grace Ashby Vernon; her sister and brother-in-law, Belva Merle Calder and Joe Calder; and her brother-in-law, Ray Benjamin Balhorn Jr. Memorial services for Pama will be held on June 4, 2026 at 11 AM at the Maeser Stake Center (2745 West 1000 North) and will be conducted by the family.
