Tina Louise Callanan, 61, of Denmark, Maine, reluctantly left us on February 26, 2023, after her short battle with cancer. Despite her diagnosis, her spirit and happiness remained un-phased.

She graduated from Fryeburg Academy in 1980. She married and built a home in her beloved Denmark on her family property. She soon welcomed her two children that would become the focus of her life. She immersed herself into raising her girls and was active in her community for all things large or small.

She had an infectious laugh and contagious smile, she loved to connect with people. A stranger approaching her was a friend she had yet to meet. She absolutely loved her entire family. Even the simplest things in life brought her great joy. She loved cribbage and other games, as easily as her many adventures of travel.

She is survived by her loving husband Joseph Callanan, daughter Charlotte and husband George Allen and their furry children Bryn and Oswald, daughter Christina, and husband Seth McAlister and their children, Mackenzie, Zaidyn, and Effie, sister Brenda and husband Murray Harding, sister Sylvia and husband Bill Wells, sister Pam Feeney and partner John Landers, brother Phillip and wife Debbie Richardson.

We will be gathering to share our favorite memories of Tina with a celebration of life to be held, March 18, 2023, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Municipal Building at the Town Hall in Denmark.
