Loretta (Lavalsit) Callahan ( 95 years old), of Marina CA passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her loving children at 6:31pm, May 30, 2025.
She was born on May 4,1930 in Sacramento CA, married Bernard LJ Callahan and raised two sons and a daughter. She traveled extensively as a Military wife and in her later years enjoyed reading James Patterson, Tony (and Anne) Hillerman mystery books, coloring in adult coloring books, and sitting out in the sun watching the birds flying in their creative formations. We were all so Blessed to live in her light and have her show us the way to live a full and happy life. She is "Love Perfected", and will Live Forever to guide our paths eternally! Always in our hearts "Tootsiemom" !
In lieu of flowers, Please donate to The SPCA of Monterey in Loretta's name!
