Callie grew up in Pittsfield from the age of five and attended Pittsfield schools. In her younger years, Callie had pet horses and later became an avid collector of Breyer Horses and also collected Hot Wheel and Matchbox cars. She worked for several years for IDNR checking turkey tags during the hunting season and always enjoyed chatting up the hunters. Callie was an animal lover and enjoyed her pets over the years and could often been seen cruising around town with them riding shotgun. She enjoyed trips to Rockford to see her aunts, uncles and cousins and took great delight spending time at family get togethers, especially watching her nieces and nephews. Callie liked fishing, playing Bingo and riding around looking at holiday decorations. She loved going to Walmart and Farm and Home, spending hours looking around and visiting with other customers. Callie always spoke her mind but loved her family deeply.
