Halli Elaine Yoder

Halli wholeheartedly participated in life; if there was a concert, holiday, or special event, she was going fully dressed up, ready to experience it all, and she inspired others to do the same. Halli made family and friends laugh and be happy just by being her sweet and sassy self. Witty, sarcastic, and not afraid to be silly, she made ordinary moments so much fun. From the earliest years, when Halli was passionate about something, she became an avid researcher and collector whose enthusiasm had no boundaries, and she loved to share the joy of finding perfect items to add to her collections. The talent and interests she exhibited were extraordinary; from gymnastics to art, shooting, tattooing, fishing, and stained glasswork, Halli excelled at whatever she put her mind to. She embodied originality and detested anything basic. She loved independent artwork, unique fashion, thrifting, and upcycling. Halli’s entrepreneurship was far beyond her years and she was on her way to becoming a successful business owner and tattoo artist. She constantly dreamed up designs and ideas for her online shop and future tattoos for herself and others. Stronger and more determined than anyone else, Halli fought the fiercest battle with the mindset that her life was still hers. She never gave up; she made plans and did things her way until the end. Hal, Bear, Swee’Pea, we love you so much, and you are forever our bright light.

Halli lives on through her mother, Nicole Wall; father, Ryan Yoder; stepfather, David Book; brother, Adam “Bubby” (Megan) Book; sister Alexandra (Namik) Book; grandparents, Michael (Vickie) Wall, Alice (Timothy) Feasel, Jan and Daniel Yoder; great-grandmother, Betty Shipper; aunts, Marie (Scott) Jewett, Danielle (Alan) Kirtley, Tasha Robinson, JoAnn Wall; uncle Andrew (Natalie) Wagner; cousins, Alexandra, Sophia Elaine, Reece, Emily, Nicolas, Lily, Noah, Kaleb, Kayden, Kolten; and best friend, Allie Middlebusher.

In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate donations to the continuation of Halli’s passions.
