Halcyon was preceded in death by her husband, a daughter, her father and mother, four brothers, one sister, one granddaughter and one great granddaughter.
Throughout her life, she was the devoted companion to her husband Jesse until his death; the ever kind and loving mother to her children; the always consoling counselor to her grandchildren; and a genuine friend to all acquaintances.
Surviving are her three sons, two daughters, seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
NOTE: There are many instances of her first name being spelled Haleyon in the local newspaper, but Halcyon was her name. An editor's article in the 11/12/1942 issue of the Lamoni Chronicle, "Between You and Me", asked her about her unusual name in which she said that Halcyon is the name of a bird in Greek mythology, which her mother liked because it means tranquility and peace.
