Agnes Ann Eddington Halliday, age 79, of Salem OR, passed away Monday March 16th 2020 after a prolonged battle with cancer. She was born to Elmer D. Eddington and Agnes Bean on May 11, 1940 in her grandfather’s Sugar City, Idaho home.

A loving mother and homemaker, Ann was a remarkable cook and enjoyed preparing meals for her family and friends, especially during the holidays.

Ann loved her work in this field and earned the distinguished honor of Special Education Teacher of the Year. After retirement Ann re-married to Richard Halliday and together, they served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Los Angeles area, working in genealogy. Ann had a love for playing the piano, sewing, quilting, camping and enjoying time with her many grandchildren.
