Mary "Leanne" Barco Halstead

October 13, 1971 - July 3, 2021

Mary “Leanne” Barco Halstead, affectionately called Fred, Nanny Annie or Mimi by her loving family and friends left us suddenly on July 3, 2021. Leanne will be remembered for her huge smile, big heart, and infectious laugh. Leanne was a 5th Generation, Citrus County native born October 13, 1971, to the late Alan “Keith” and Sybil Barco. She was also preceded in death by her brother Jeff. We are comforted in the fact that Leanne was married to her best friend, Scott Halstead. They loved fishing together and having grand adventures in their many travels. Also left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Jennifer and Caitlyn, along with her husband’s children, Katie, Cody and Taylor and their grandchildren Adalyn, Brodie, Rylan, Kaylee, Hannah, Jace and Kenleigh, her sister, Brenda, her niece, Morgan, and her smallest little buddy Kane. Leanne leaves behind many loving cousins, Aunts and Uncles. Visitation will be held at the Inverness Chapel of Hooper Funeral Homes on Friday, July 9 from 4-7 pm. Funeral services will be held Saturday, July 10 at 11:00 am, with interment to follow at Lake Lindsey Cemetery in Brooksville, Florida. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to your local animal shelter in memory of Leanne and her love of her rescue dogs. Arrangements under the direction of the Inverness Chapel of Hooper Funeral Homes.
