Robin Hall Obituary
Robin Lynn HALL Robin Lynn Hall, age 55, passed away on December 29th, 2009 after ten years of intermittent treatment for breast cancer. For eleven years, Robin was Director of Human Resources for the City of Lynnwood, WA. Robin performed with many choral groups over the years, most recently the Seattle Choral Company, where her fellow 1st Sopranos relied on her strong voice to hit high C notes. An avid advocate for animals, Robin headed the PAWS Action Legislation Committee in 1991, served on the Everett Animal Control Advisory Board, and was a member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the Humane Society and the National Society of Musicians for Animals, among other animal groups. She had many "furry children" over the years who no doubt were waiting for her with tails wagging when she left this world for the next. Robin is survived by her husband Larry Rasmussen of Shoreline, WA, mother Betty Jo Hall of Yuma AZ, father Charles Neal Hall (Jack) of San Angelo, TX, brother Charles Michael Hall (Mike), and many friends. A celebration of Robin's life will be held on March 13th from 2-4pm at Shoreline Unitarian Church, located at 14724 1st Ave NE in Shoreline. Remembrances may be made in her honor to PAWS (www.paws.org), The Seattle Choral Company (www.seattlechoralcompany.org), or the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (www.komen.org).To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Robin was one of my first friends when I moved to Washington. Over the years, we watched movies, discovered vegetarian restaurants and shopped. Last summer, we experienced a river tour of Russia. I can still hear Robin's laugh as she watched DVDs in our very cozy cabin.

I knew Robin through professional associations and a little over a year ago I went to work for her at the City of Lynnwood. In that short time she made a difference in my life as she has with so many others. I miss her terribly and keep expecting her to come into the office at any minute ...

I worked with Robin for the past 10 years as a member of the Lynnwood City Council. Robin was so dedicated to making the city family a happy place to be. She was both a super professional person and a real friend to all of us. The whole city family mourns your loss and ours.

I worked with Robin at the city of Lynnwood and found her to be an amazingly dedicated, honest and fun person. She was great to work with and a caring friend. When she sang it was like listening to an angel. Beautiful voice. I miss her. I am so sorry for your loss and the world's loss. She was one of the best.

Robin was our Personnel Manager at
Sno-Isle. We both shared a love of animals and I always admired her dedication and compassion to animal welfare. Such a kind-hearted person.
I am so sorry for your loss.
God Bless you

I sang with Robin in the Seattle Choral Company for serveral years, plus I remember one year she came to summer music camp (Midsummer Musical Retreat) with her friend Anita. She was always so cheery and nice, created lots of positive vibes, and always immediately made me smile. The SCC and the world are poorer with her absence, but thinking of her now makes me smile again.

Robin was my movie buddy for so many years here in Salt Lake. She also got me hooked on the Desert Star Playhouse and other theatrical venues. She greatly expanded my cultural life. It was so much fun to visit with her when she was in town and I still have the baby sweater she crocheted for my son when he was born. She and I drove to AZ one Thanksgiving and stayed with her mom. We had a great time! She was a terrific friend and I will miss her very much. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her husband and the rest of her family.

Robin and I sang together for several years and she always was so upbeat and joyous it was a fun time whenever we were lifting our voices together. It was a privilege to count her as a friend and she will be sorely missed.

I have been serving with Robin on the NPELRA Board of Directors, and it has been a privilege to know her. She will be missed.
My first wife passed away just over 2 years ago as a result of breast cancer, so Robin's passing hits very close to my heart. May His peace bring the family and friends peace during this time, as it has to me and our four young children.

Larry and Family,
Robin was amazing. So successful, so caring, so dedicated to all her causes, so strong and forever optimistic in her fight with cancer. I will truly, truly miss her and all that she did to make a difference in the lives of others, both human and animal.
