Halleanne was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them.

She treasured her role as "MiMi" to her 11 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren, while anxiously awaiting 2 more great grandchildren.

Her sense of style was like no other. Her outfits had a creative flair with matching purses, scarves and shoes. She was always poised and elegant.

She enjoyed volunteering her time and efforts with the class of 1955 Istrouma Indians, she loved being involved with so many of her classmates. One of her latest enjoyments was modeling for Talbots with her granddaughters.

Her laughter and love was a gift to all who knew her. She will be missed daily by all of us.
