Mary Halverson

Mary H. Halverson passed away on May 7, 2023 at 81 years old. Mary was born on March 1, 1942 in Queens, New York. She is survived by her five (5) sisters Rosalie, Josephine, Catherine, Theresa and Cecelia, her four (4) children John, Joseph, Thomas, Catherine, and seven (7) step-children, Robert, Edward, Donald, Judy, Peggy, Kathleen and John, as well as twenty-six (26) grandchildren and twelve (12) great grandchildren.

Mary/Grandma/Gammy/GG was the matriarch of our ever-growing family and she will be missed beyond measure. She was a selfless woman who dedicated her life to caring for her family, she spent her days cooking, homemaking, organizing parties and spoiling her grandchildren. She lived for boat rides, beach days, cozy nights and a dry martini every now and then. Mary was a force-she had a captivating personality, incredible work ethic, an infectious smile and an enormous heart.

We will never fill the void that has been left in our lives with the passing of our dear Mary. We find comfort in knowing she has joined her beloved late husband, Edward Halverson, we imagine they are sailing into the sunset aboard “The Entertainer” and toasting to the incredible family they built, who will forever carry on their “Family Tradition”.
“…. There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish Angels
Took another angel home….”
