Beloved wife of the late Frederick Gordon McCallum. Adored mother of Elizabeth McCallum (Derough Shoupe) of Emsdale, ON, Barb Elliott (Chris) of Port Sydney, ON and Fred McCallum of Kitchener, ON. Loving grandmother of Hillary Elliott of Toronto, ON.
Teresa was the last surviving child of the late Mr. & Mrs. James O’Brien. She grew up on the O’Brien family farm on Allumette Island, Quebec surrounded by her wonderful siblings Virtue, Ivy, Stella, Rita, Joy, Clare, Earl, Nelson, Ray and Justin. Mother was the privileged one to get to know and enjoy time with her many nieces and nephews.
Mother loved her yearly move to the cottage and enjoyed watching all types of wildlife on the Ottawa River. Each Labor Day weekend she would sit on the shore listening to the old time fiddling music carry across the river from Pembroke. She will be forever remembered for her sweet smile and laugh.

So sorry to hear about your mother’s passing, Liz, Barb and Fred. I always enjoyed my conversations with your mom. She loved you all dearly and was an especially proud grandmother. We joked about so many things, especially her age, being a leap year baby as she was. Her smile will be sorely missed by all who were blessed to know her.
