Annie Virginia Shifflett Halterman, 69, of Prince Frederick, MD passed away at her home on April 24, 2008.

Born, January 16, 1939 in Calvert County, Md. to the late Daniel C. and Annie Morris Shifflett.

Virginia was preceded in death by brothers, Lee, Bill, Everett and James Shifflett.

Beloved wife of 52 years of Thomas William Halterman, Sr. of Prince Frederick, MD and devoted mother of Thomas Wm. Halterman, Jr., Christina Ann Marshall and Annie Edith Lee. Grandmother of 6, great grandmother of 11, she is also survived by her brother, Robert Shifflett, and her sisters Louise Darlymple, Lorene McKnew, Betty Morris, and Mary Halterman.

Her unwavering desire to be needed, but not counted, was felt by everyone who knew her. Someone who's passing has left an aching emptiness inside that has us trying to reach out and grab just one more moment with her. Though these feelings hurt so much, remember that time will heal them. Keep dear to your heart that without these feelings her life would have been meaningless.

She had many names, such as Virginia, Jenny, Honey, Mom, Aunt, Sis, and Grandma, but all who knew her definitely considered her… BEST FRIEND! We love you Jenny-You will be missed.

The family received friends at Full Gospel Assembly of God Church, Prince Frederick, MD on Sunday April 27, 2008 from 2-4 PM where services were held on Monday April 28, 2008 at 11 A.M. Pastor Todd Marple and Pastor William Davis officiated. Interment followed in Southern Memorial Gardens, Dunkirk, MD.
