Mary E. Hallett, 92, of Elkhorn, formerly of Burlington, passed away Sunday, August 11, 2019, at Lakeland Health Care Center in Elkhorn, Wis.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, on April 12, 1927, she was the daughter of Alphonse and Sarita (nee Rawson) Ahmann. Her early life was spent in Park Ridge, Illinois where she attended St. Hilary’s Catholic Grade School. She later graduated from Immaculata High School in Chicago and Marquette University in Milwaukee, where she earned degrees in English and Philosophy.

On January 29, 1949 in Chicago, Illinois, she was united in marriage to Charles G. Hallett, Jr. Following marriage, they made their home in Grayslake, Illinois for 16 years, then Antioch, Illinois for 20 years, before moving to Burlington 20 years ago. Charles preceded her in death on October 29, 2007. Mary worked as a teacher for both Catholic and public schools. She was a member of the Antioch Women’s Club, a Cancer Society volunteer and a parishioner of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Burlington. She loved to play the piano, listen to music and was an avid reader. She golfed regularly until her later years and enjoyed an active social life, being a good friend to many. She also was an avid bridge player with a special group of lady friends for many years. She loved boating on the Chain-of-Lakes when she and her husband lived on Lake Catherine in Antioch, Illinois.

Mary is survived by her children, Claudia (Jim) Koslosky, Madelyn (Don) Long, Christopher (Dorothy) Hallett and a daughter-in-law Marlene Hallett; grandchildren, Christy, Ryan (Elise), Jared (Molly), Joel, Amanda, Maureen, and Staci; step-grandchildren Charissa and Dylan; and many great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Charles; son, Charles G. Hallett III and a `brother, John Ahmann.

The family would like to thank the loving, caring staff at Lakeland Health Care Center in Elkhorn, and all those at St. Croix Hospice who lovingly and gently cared for Mary for the last eleven days of her life, finally surrendering her into the arms of God.
