Yvonne Julia Hall

Yvonne Julia Hall was born on December 21, 1970 in Waxahachie, Texas. On May 25, 2025, with over a dozen loved ones surrounding her and speaking to her of their deep love and admiration, she departed this earth and joined her Heavenly Father. Yvonne grew up in Italy, Texas with her devoted father and mother, Lucio and Mary Jacinto, as well as her siblings Vincent and Mark. Yvonne was a spirited child with many friends and had an “I can do anything” (or, as her mother fondly recalls, an “I know it all”) attitude. She was a talented basketball player and was voted “Most Athletic” by her high school class. Yvonne was also such a gifted trombone player she was offered a scholarship to play in a college band. To the mild annoyance of her cousins, she was called “princess,” and was treated as such, by her doting abuela. After graduating from Italy High School in 1989, she obtained her bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1994. In 2015, she obtained her certification in Long-Term Care Administration at McLennon Community College. She worked as a social worker and administrator in numerous hospitals, nursing homes, and hospice care facilities. Yvonne had a heart for serving others and her life’s work was to love on and help people. She wanted to (and did) make a difference in the lives of so many. Her most recent position was administrator at the Village at Heritage Oaks in Corsicana, Texas. She was passionate about her job and believed strongly in the dignity and quality of life for each and every resident of the Village. She often reminded her staff that “we work in their home and we will act like it.” Yvonne had her first child, Michael “Taz” Martinez, on February 10, 1993. Her second son, Adrian Acevedo, was born six years later on February 5, 1999. She was a wonderful mom that poured herself into raising her two boys. She coached her sons’ baseball teams and took them all around the country for drag racing. Yvonne gained the title of Mamaw in 2013 when her first granddaughter was born. She went on to have eleven grandchildren who she took great pleasure in spoiling. She loved spending time with her grandchildren very much and for the past twelve years, it was unusual to see her without at least one grandchild in tow. She met the love of her life, Michael Hall, in 2016. Mike always said he loved buying her rings because her hands were so pretty. On April 20, 2019, he did just that when he married Yvonne in a surprise ceremony in the backyard of their Second Chance Ranch in Italy, Texas. Yvonne and Mike were a perfect match who loved doing everything together. Several times a week she would text him a selfie with an “I love you” message. Yvonne and Mike loved to host large gatherings with the whole family present for every holiday. Her family will forever fondly recall the overflowing Christmas tree, the hundreds of confetti eggs at Easter, and trips to the State Fair of Texas. Mike will always remember Yvonne’s open and overflowing heart and will be eternally grateful that she taught him to live with that same open heartedness. Yvonne never met a stranger and fit in everywhere. She was magnetic. She was a terrible driver. There was nothing she wouldn’t try. She loved vacationing in Mexico, going to the rodeo, hunting with Mike at the ranch, and going on epic trips to float the river. Yvonne always thought of others and was generous with both her resources and time. She was a devoted and loving daughter, sister, mother, Mamaw, and friend and will be dearly missed. She was preceded in death by her brother, Vincent Lucio Jacinto; her grandparents, Rodrigo Villarreal, Martha Villarreal, Margarito Jacinto, and Julia Jacinto. Yvonne is survived by her husband, Michael Hall; her parents, Lucio and Mary Jacinto; her son, Michael Martinez and wife, Rebekah; her son, Adrian Acevedo and his partner, Kaylea Alexander; her step-daughter, Shelby Hall and husband, Derek Burch; her step-daughter. Taylor Keville and husband, Dylan; her step-daughter, Holly Duong and husband, Stephen; her brother, Mark Jacinto and wife, Rebekah; her sister-in-law, Lisa Jacinto; her grandchildren, Loralie Martinez, Kinzlie Martinez, Landrie Martinez, Aurora Martinez, Oliver Alexander, Kinsley Gibbons, Kelsie Acevedo, Lyla Burch, Harper Burch, Brooks Keville, and Silver Duong; her niece, Ashlyn Conger and husband, Jacob and their son, Caleb Conger; her nephew, Caden Jacinto and his wife, Madison and their son, Greyson; her nephew, Collier Jacinto; and her nephew, Reid Jacinto. The family will receive friends from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Thursday, May 29, 2025 at Central Baptist Church in Italy, TX. A celebration of Yvonne’s life will be at 10:00am on Friday, May 30, 2025 also at Central Baptist with interment immediately following at Italy Cemetery.
