She was born August 28, 1918, in Long Beach, MS. She grew up in New Orleans, LA but spent summers in Pass Christian, MS and considered it her home.

Mrs. Callender was a member of Galloway Memorial United Methodist Church for over 60 years. "Namama," as she was affectionately called by her family, was a long-time member of the High Noon Luncheon Club and Explorer's Bible Study. She enjoyed summers in Pass Christian and spending time with family and friends.
Mrs. Callender was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. She was a great source of support to her husband during his medical practice and to their two daughters.
The family would like to express deep and sincere gratitude for the loving care and attention she received from her long-time personal caregivers, Diane Arnold, Kathy Carson, Clara Johnson, and Mary Alice McLaurin. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Galloway Memorial United Methodist Church, PO Box 1092, Jackson MS 39215, Pear Orchard Presbyterian Church, 750 Pear Orchard Road, Ridgeland, MS 39157, or to the charity of your choice.
