She was 51 years old at the time of her death, which was determined to be caused by her disease.
Newhall-Weyant was a fifth generation descendant of Henry Mayo Newhall and the granddaughter of Scott and Ruth Newhall, who once owned the Signal newspaper in Santa Clarita.
“She was a light bulb, a lightening rod that everybody gravitated to,” said Skip Newhall, Newhall-Weyant’s father. “She never met a person that didn’t like her; everybody really adored the gal.”
Newhall-Weyant is succeeded by her father, her husband, Jeff Weyant, and her three children, Christopher and Matthew Halbasch from a former marriage and Derek Weyant.
Newhall-Weyant was training to be a marathon runner when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 15 years ago.
