Life story

Carol Lee Organt was born on May 16, 1941, in Masontown, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Marino Organt Sr. and Sue Haught Organt. She married Walter M. "Sonny" Halterman, and the couple made their home in Fairchance. Together they raised four children: Sandra, Audrey, Patrick and Cynthia. She was also a loving grandmother to eight grandchildren.

Faith was at the center of Carol's life. She was a very active member of the First Presbyterian Church of Fairchance. There she served as a Deacon and an Elder, was Clerk of Session for 25 years, and sang in the choir. She was the church secretary and sent an uplifting note every week to shut-ins and ill members of the congregation. She was a master organizer of the church's programs. She was also active in women's ministries, including the Community Alliance of Christian Women and the Community Vacation Bible School. She was instrumental in the success of the church's twice-yearly buckwheat dinners.

Carol passed away on June 13, 2018, at Uniontown Hospital, with her loving family by her side. She was 77. She is remembered as a true example of a Christ-centered Christian. She is buried in Mt Moriah Cemetery in Smithfield, Pennsylvania.
