In Memory
Yvonne Maureen Callaway
November 14th, 1936 - November 25th, 2025
Born in Calgary, AB
Passed in Calgary, AB
Yvonne faced her final days with the same strength that defined her life.
Predeceased by her husband, Robert Callaway (Bob), in 2007, they built a family grounded in loyalty, hard work and perseverance.
Mother to Debra, David, Susan and Marie; grandmother to nine, great-grandmother to ten.
Yvonne is remembered for her love of gardening, baking, reading, puzzles and eleven years of garden tea parties. Many remember her for the cookie trays she delivered each Christmas to local businesses. Mom donated twelve shoe boxes every Christmas and adopted a local family to provide gifts for each Christmas.
Her family is grateful for her love and will carry her memory with deep respect.
At Moms request, no service will be held.

Dear Debbie and family, so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She will be dearly missed by your family and the community. I was so glad that Mom and I were able to attend one of her annual teas, very fond memories. Gail (nee Woods).

I would like to send my condolences to the family on the passing of your Mother, Yvonne. I always enjoyed my visits with her at RBC and her plates of the best homemade goodies she shared at Christmas.

I just read about your mom's passing. It is hard to lose a mom..... I was happy to know your mom Yvonne. She hired me for several spring/summer gardening tasks over the years. She always made me a lovely lunch and we sat and chatted during that time. I helped at several of her famous tea parties as well. Plus I never went home without a big bag of her home made cookies. She certainly was a giving person. She loved her flowers and her majestic lawn. Hello to you Yvonne, may you be happy where ever you are. Love Wilma
