At 88 years old, she sadly passed on Wednesday February 12, 2025, after a long and happy life. Her kind and radiant smile, and her quick Irish wit, will be greatly missed.

She lived most of her adult life in Auburndale MA and enjoyed regular visits to Maine to visit her many relatives. She enjoyed retirement after over 40 years of service to the phone company. In 2016 she moved back to Western MA and easily made many new friends and enjoyed her time with her family. Preceded in death by her brother John in 2023, she is survived by her brother Philip J. Callan, Jr of Longmeadow, and many nieces and nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday February 20, 2025, at 10 am at St Mary's Parish, 519 Longmeadow St., Longmeadow.
