Joan CALLAHAN-HALSTEAD

I liked Joan a lot and I know my Uncle Jack loved her very much and that she made him very happy. My condolences to her family, a nice bunch who are a wonderful testimony to the kind of mother that was Joan.

Still miss Joan and her loving heart. Think of all of the family often with love and prayers

Joan was always quick to share a joke, she loved to make people laugh and laugh with them. Miss you Joan.

To her kids, I just heard from Karen Doughty that Joan had passed. My heart is hurting. So, grateful to have seen Joan at Brighton. Please know that I called her cell many times and called at the desk at the home and could never reach her. She was thought of often. Her obit was perfectly written and I can just hear her say...Right..Right !! Sending you a hug, a smile and much love in her memory. Brent Severson of Patio and Hearth

We all loved Joan, how could you not! She brought joy and laughter into every situation, no matter what it was! At the Reisinger´s we all knew when Joan was coming over, there would be some great story around the corner. She had impeccable style and class and was my mother´s personal decorator!! Though Joan was many years younger than my mom, they were they best of friends.....Joan had many! My dad took a special interest in the Callahan family and tried to quietly step in at the holidays...

Joanie was one of my mom Boots Lemmings High School Croonies! She was at my moms 25 Anniversary Party with a Pompador Hairstyle! Her hair and dress matched ! They were both grey and black stripe! She would always say she was filthy rich is she didn´t live past Thursday! Was so fun to be around! Her and Maureen Sullivan Davis were a pair! So many Great Memories ! Loved her to the moon and back! Was the only daughter that loved my moms friends as much as she did!

Joan always had a crazy, funny story to share and we looked forward to her visits. She also became a good friend to my Aunt Jayne Lohr when they both lived at Brighton Gardens. Thanks for all the memories. Terri Reisinger Fusco

So many laughs and great memories of Joan in my family home with my parents, Paul and MaryLou Reisinger. We all loved it when Joan came to visit. She brought joy, fun and was a dear friend to my Mom and Dad. I'm sure they were there to meet her at the pearly gates. May you rest in peace!
