Suzanne HALPIN Obituary
Suzie grew up in Williamsburg, Va., daughter of the late Robert K. and Jeanne (Brady) Bentley.
A memorial service to celebrate Suzie's life will be held on Wednesday, July 21, 2010, at 11 a.m., at Lankford Funeral Home, 220 E. New York Ave., DeLand, FL.
Suzie was a devoted wife and mother. She was quick witted, fun loving, and made friends easily. The epitome of a military wife, she traveled around the globe, superbly maintaining her home and providing totally unselfish, faithful and devoted service to her family and community. She was a Girl Scout leader; a Cub Scout Den Leader; Assistant Coach on numerous Youth Soccer teams; school volunteer; recipient of numerous recognition awards, for her leadership abilities and volunteerism at the various posts to which she and her husband were assigned. Suzie was presented the Department of the Army Commander's Award for Public Service for her hard work and dedication toward improving the quality of life of the military families living overseas. Suzie enjoyed crocheting, word and number puzzles, playing cards, games, and caring for the various creatures brought into her home over the years. She always enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
Suzie will be greatly missed by her beloved husband, Command Sergeant Major (retired) Robert P. Halpin Jr. of DeLand, Fla.; her sons, Robert B. and Aimee Halpin, and David M. and Sherry Halpin; her grandchildren, Codi, Caeli, Kelsi, Katey and Natalie Halpin. She will also be lovingly remembered by her sisters, Robin Ward of Eclipse, Va., and Sherry Turpin of Portsmouth, Va.; grandfather, Bud Hall of Eclipse, Va.; mother-in-law, Mickey Halpin of Williamsburg, Va.; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Halifax Health Hospice of Volusia Flagler, West Volusia Care Center, 3800 Woodbriar Trail, Port Orange, FL 32129.
