BISBEE - Charles Andrew Hallsted, also known as Corky or Chuck, transitioned from this life to the next on Feb. 22, 2017, at the age of 84.
Chuck was born to Clarence and Matilda Hallsted on March 10, 1932, in Bisbee, Arizona, the second of six children. He grew up in Bisbee, where he attended Loretto Academy and Bisbee High School.
After serving in the Army, Chuck began working for Phelps Dodge as a miner. He loved telling stories of his days underground. When the mines closed in Bisbee, Chuck and his family moved to Playas, New Mexico, where he worked in the smelter for 20 years. Upon his retirement, he returned to his home town, Bisbee, where he remained until his death.
Throughout his life Chuck had many interests and talents. As a younger man, he worked with 4H kids, teaching leather tooling; hunted; rode horses; camped; gardened; collected coins; and built many things. As he aged, Chuck spent a lot of time making soup, playing cards and dominoes, and shelling pecans that he proudly sold at the Farmer’s Market. He was also a dynamite candy maker and loved making divinity, fudge, and caramel for Christmas and also to sell at the St. Patrick Festival.
What Chuck cherished most and was most proud of, however, was his family. He treasured his wife Nannie Sue, his children, and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was happiest when spending time with them, as well as his siblings and many nieces and nephews.
Chuck will be greatly missed by his wife, Nannie Sue of Bisbee; children: Jolynn Hallsted, Paul Hallsted, Sally Hallsted, and Janet Hallsted, all of Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Charlene Hallsted of Bisbee; grandchildren: Jon Hallsted, Anji, Sara, and Tina Carabeo, Mariah Carabeo, and Valerie Gagnon; and three great-grandchildren: Nicholas and Xavier MacMiller and Larissa Carabeo. He will be missed also by his brother, Fred Hallsted of Bisbee; sister, Rosalie Kershaw of Kansas; and sister-in-law, Stella Hallsted of California.
Chuck will be welcomed into eternal life by his parents, Clarence and Matilda; brother, James; and sisters, Mary Ann Johnston and Dorothy Jamison, who preceded him in death.
Those who knew and loved Chuck will always remember the twinkle in his eyes, his love of life, his dislike of talking on the phone, the joy he took in telling stories, singing in the church choir over his lifetime, and playing games. He had a very generous spirit which was evidenced by his willingness to share whatever he had with others. Those of us left to grieve will never forget Chuck as we celebrate his life, both past and present.
A rosary will be prayed at 9:30 a.m., followed by a memorial Mass at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 24, 2017, at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Bisbee. There will be a reception in St. Patrick Hall following the Mass.
