Norvell Austin Hall

Early Life

Norvell Austin Hall was born on August 5, 1937, in Estes Park, Colorado. His father, Milton Austin Hall, worked in road construction, which meant the family often relocated as Milton was assigned to various projects. Norvell's mother, Ardis Irene Baker, dedicated herself to being a full-time homemaker. As a result of his father's career, Norvell spent much of his childhood in Wyoming, where he attended and graduated from Rock Springs High School. During his school years, Norvell was known for his athletic abilities and his love of horses.

Career

Norvell worked in auto parts sales, serving customers in both Rock Springs and Craig. He also started a wheel and brake shop in Rock Springs. His professional journey led him to sell livestock feed throughout the Yampa Valley community, where he found joy in connecting with his ranching customers. Norvell's natural talent for sales and his genuine interest in others were evident throughout his career.

Personal Life

Norvell met Donna Marie Ashbaugh on a blind date in Craig, Colorado. Donna agreed to the date after friends assured her that Norvell was an excellent dancer. The couple married on November 28, 1992, in Craig and danced to the tune of “Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?”. Together, they traveled extensively, embracing the opportunity to experience the beauty of the world.
