Mildred Elleanor Halter

Mildred Elleanor Halter, born July 3, 1930, to her parents Harold and Anne Mae Holmquist, in Suffolk, Fergus, Montana, passed away on August 23, 2022, in St. George, Utah. Mildred married Murrey Deane Halter July 22, 1950, in Kalispell, Montana. She was blessed with 3 sons, Gilbert (Sue), Dennis and Duane (Lula). She is survived by her sons Dennis and Duane (Lula), as well as one brother, Ernest Holmquist, 10 grandchildren and several great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Anne Mae, husband Deane, son Gilbert and siblings, Harold, Mary Ellen, William, Barbara, and John. When Mildred was 11 years old, her mother passed away and it was her responsibility to cook, clean, do laundry, and take care of her younger siblings that were still living. A lot of responsibility to fall on someone so young! Deane came along and became her shining light. She loved him dearly. She was happy to have her three sons, but also did foster care in the early 1970's. Mildred and Deane moved to Spokane, Washington soon after they were married. Eight years later they moved to Walla Walla, Washington. About eight years later they returned to Spokane, then moved to Waitsburg, Washington in 1975, where they lived until they moved to the Kalispell, Montana area. After Deane’s passing, Mildred moved to La Verkin, Utah area to be closer to family. Mildred and her son, Dennis ended up going into the nursing home until Dennis was well enough to be released. She struggled with not having him around all the time, as they had pretty much lived together since his birth, because of his special needs. It was hard for her to accept that her and Dennis were unable to live on their own. Mildred will return to Montana to be buried next to her beloved husband. Mildred was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She served in the Primary, Relief Society, and Cub Scouts. Her hobbies were playing the organ, which she taught herself to play, making flowers, making candies, canning, making cakes, scrap booking and sewing. In her younger years she loved to entertain in her home. She will be loved and missed by many friends and family members. May God bless her as she continues her journey! Funeral services will be held Friday, September 2, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. at the La Verkin LDS Stake Center located at 481 N Main, La Verkin, Utah. A Viewing will be held prior to services from 10:30 – 11:45 a.m. Interment will be in the Conrad Cemetery in Kalispell, Montana.
