Coleen M. Hallenbeck

Coleen M. Hallenbeck, 56, passed away peacefully at home in Mc Donough, GA on Friday, December 19, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength and kindness that touched everyone who knew her. Born in Amsterdam on September 24, 1969, she was the daughter of Albert and Kathleen Rule Chambers. Coleen was a 1987 graduate of Perth High School and a 1989 graduate of FMCC. Later, she earned a degree in criminal justice from Utica University. At the time of her death, Coleen was an integral part of the Swift Currie Law Firm family for over 13 years, not only as an employee, but also a true friend. As a legal assistant and hybrid paralegal, Coleen was always willing to lend a hand. She was thoughtful and hardworking and one of the kindest people you could meet. Coleen’s greatest devotion in life was to her son, David. No matter the challenges and struggles she faced, every decision she made and every hardship she endured was for him. She put his needs before her own, always striving to give him the best she could, guided by unconditional and deep commitment as a mother. Despite her own circumstances, Coleen rarely complained. Instead, she focused on caring for others, paying close attention to how people felt and what they needed. She offered support with a smile, a laugh, and an easygoing attitude. Though small in stature, Coleen was strong, fiercely independent, and sometimes stubborn. She stood her ground and faced life with determination. Coleen will be remembered for her generous heart, her strength, and her unwavering devotion as a mother. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She is predeceased by her father, Albert Chambers; and her husband, John Hallenbeck. Survivors include her son, David Henderson; her mother, Kathy Chambers Keane; two sisters, Maureen Chambers and Kelly Chambers-Zubal; her mother-in-law, Antoinette Hallenbeck; her sister-in-law, Holli Hallenbeck; and several nieces and nephews. Calling hours will be held on Saturday from 12 – 3 pm at the Robert M. Halgas Funeral Home, Inc. 111 County Highway 106 (Corner of Route 29 & Black Street), Johnstown. Cremation was performed in Georgia. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Coleen’s memory to the American Diabetes Association in care of the funeral home.
