Irmgard Erna “Irma” Halstead

MARION: Entered into rest peacefully with her family by her side, at home, on February 14, 2026, at the age of 94. Irma was born March 7, 1931, to Willy and Erna Klose in Berlin, Germany. She is survived by her loving husband of 75 years, Richard; her sons, Frank (Debbie) Halstead of Macedon, NY, Terry (Cindy) Halstead of Palmyra, and Bryan (Apryl) Halstead of Richmond, Virginia; twelve grandchildren; many great-grandchildren; several nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Irma and Richard moved to Marion in 1968 after Richard retired from the US Air Force. Irma was proud to become a US Citizen in 1957. They were very active in the Marion community in various organizations including Church, Eastern Star, and volunteering as a Candy Striper at the Newark Wayne Hospital. Both Irma and Richard’s passion was square and round dancing nationwide at the highest levels with the Rochester Area Federation and local clubs.
