Obituary for Aileen A. Halloran (Archambault)

Aileen A. Halloran of Ellington passed away on May 5, 2020 at the age of 66. She was born in Norwich on October 9, 1953 to the late Joseph Archambault and Victoria Szydlo and previously lived in Taftville and Vernon before moving to Ellington.

Halloran; her daughters and sons-in-law, Kristin Halloran and Kyle Kessler of Atlanta, Georgia, and Rebecca and Oscar Gonzalez of Iowa City, Iowa; her granddaughter, Isabella Gonzalez; and her sister and brother-in-law, Gail and Donald Mordavsky of South Windsor; along with a large and beloved extended family.
An avid reader, she loved traveling and spending time with her children and granddaughter, all of whom shared her love of books. She loved cooking shows and wine, and was delighted to visit many French wineries in 2017 and Julia Child’s home in France in 2018. She was adored by her granddaughter, who called her Yaya, and their daily calls brought her immense joy.

She later earned an M.A. from Cambridge College and spent her career working in adult education, spending many years with the Capitol Region Education Council.
