Amy Cecilia Halstead (née Daly) passed away peacefully on August 10, 2019 at the age of 71 surrounded by her family.
Amy was preceded in death by Dennis Halstead, her loving husband of nearly 50 years, in 2017 and her son, Dennis Eric Halstead (Skip) in 1973. She was dearly loved by her children Jeffrey (Patricia), Scott (Laura), Christina Streets (David) and her God-daughter, Sandra Kennedy. She was a loving and devoted Mom-Mom to her grandchildren Kalin, Megan, Hannah, Elizabeth, Claire, Catherine, Cole, and Avery. She will be dearly missed by her siblings Kathleen Romanczuk, Margaretta Allen, Edward Daly, and Carol Lynn Daly, as well as her many in-laws, nieces, and nephews. She was the daughter of the late Edward and Amy Daly (née McManus).
Amy was born and raised in Philadelphia where she lived until 1981. She worked for many years at General Electric, later Lockheed Martin, where she distinguished herself as a computer security analyst. She was greatly respected and was honored several times for her accomplishments. She retired from Lockheed Martin in 2012. Amy loved reading, watching British television shows, skiing, spending time in Ocean City, and reflecting in her garden. Her greatest love was her family, and she cherished every moment surrounded by them.

Dear Halstead Family:
I was very sad to learn of Amy’s passing. I pray she didn’t suffer and has finally been reunited with Skip and Denny. Amy and I were good friends in grade school and high school. I had occasion to catch up with her just a few months ago, and had no idea she was so sick. She was so proud of each and evey one of her children and grandchildren.
It was my great pleasure to know and grow up with Amy. My sincerest condolences.
Kathleen Dougherty
I only recently learned of Amy’s passing, and words alone cannot convey my sympathies to her family and loved ones.
I had the honor of working with Amy during the last seven years she spent with Lockheed Martin. During our time working together, I learned more from her than I ever thought possible, and I was always struck by her dedication and passion – not merely for her work, but for those around her.
My condolences to Amy’s family, and my gratitude to Amy, for touching our lives.
We we were neighbors for twenty two years, celebrated thirty one New Years Eves together and numerous mile stones in our lives together. Miles have separated us the last few years but I’ll always cherish the memories we shared.
You will be dearly missed but will remain I our hearts forever. I can picture you making Hons “tea”. Knowing your together. Rest peacefully my dear friend.
Love you,
Marilynn
