Mary Halstead Obituary

I will miss her. She was a sweet and kind lady. Being a daughter-in-law was something special and I only regret falling out of touch over the years and not being able to make things easier for her. She held the family together and endured many sadnesses. I remember the special times, the crocheting, and playing cards, food, and the love and patience I always felt from her. She always saw the hope and possibility of every new baby. She was special to me even if it didn't work out the way she planned or wanted it to be. Sue said it best ~ God has a new angel and I pray for her peace!! I'm sure there is a place for making things where she is. We'll all miss her, and I can only hope that the legacy she leaves behind stands tall, makes her proud, and represents all that she wanted her family to be - together and for one another!! Mickee

The loss of such a wonderful aunt is very hard. She was a big part of my brother and my life when we were growing up. She was loving, caring and very special.

I was Mary's next door neighbor at the
Crestview apts in Colorado Springs. I
moved to Newport, N.C. a little over
a year ago but stayed in contact with Mary until recently. We had some good times together..Went out to eat and went to a few yard sales. She was noted
for her strawberry dessert that she would always bring to the Saturday morning brunch or monthly pot luck.I still gaze at the beautiful Indian Maiden she crocheted for me..
I will miss her but I know I shall see her again.

I knew the big Halstead family living in a modest house in Colorado Springs in the 50s and 60s. Bobby was a friend. Mrs. Halstead raised eight kids, something most moms today couldn't even cope with. She's from another era, another time in America.
