Mary was devoted to her husband, Paul J. Halter who passed away in October 1988. She was also preceded in death by a son-in-law, Bernard Yashkus, grandson, Matthew Halter, sisters, Teresa Knauer, Alice A. Halter, Rita Hill and Elizabeth Bitzer and brothers, George E., Francis C., James T. and William H. Proeller.

Halter and his wife Thea of St. Charles, Illinois, Robert G. Halter and his wife Mary of Sugar Notch, Rosemarie Yashkus of Plains, M. Carol Stoodley and her husband Ivor of Hunlock Creek and Elizabeth Kwashnik and her husband Henry of Easton, Maryland; sixteen grandchildren; eighteen great-grandchildren; a brother, Joseph R. Proeller of Wilkes-Barre and numerous nieces and nephews.
