The family of Alice Teresa Callahan is saddened to announce that she passed away peacefully on January 18, 2025, at the age of 98. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, she was well known for her infectious smile, her abundant kindness, and her unwavering dedication to her family and countless friends. Alice lived by the motto “There are no strangers, only friends I haven’t met yet.” She was known simply as Grandma Alice to her grandchildren, as well as to the many friends of her children in their respective communities.
A proud graduate of the University of Mount St. Vincent, class of 1948, enjoying four wonderful years there making many lifelong friends. In 1951 she married Arthur Paul Callahan (affectionately known as Chub), and together they began building their life together. Alice dedicated over 30 years to raising her children and creating a loving home for them in East Northport, NY. In 1989, she and her beloved husband, Chub, moved to Palm Coast, Florida.
In her leisure time, Alice kept herself remarkably busy. She enjoyed a good round of golf with her friends from the Palm Coast Nifty Niners and never missed an outing with the ladies from the Palm Coast Red Hat Society. As a woman of deep faith, she found joy in serving as eucharist minister and as a lector for her beloved St Elizabeth Ann Seaton Catholic Church. Ever proud of her Irish heritage, she served as President of the Irish Social Club in Palm Coast, FL for several years. When not volunteering her time and talents, Alice could be found traveling the world or entertaining family and friends.
Alice was pre-deceased by her loving husband, Arthur Paul Callahan (“Chub”), who passed away in 1993 and her siblings Robert Donahue and Margaret Donahue Reydel. She is survived by her devoted children – Michael (Charrvelle), Christopher (Kathleen), Matthew, Mary Alice (Robert Fish), Susan (Gary Watters) and Chelsea – as well as ten grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. All who had the privilege of knowing Alice, and especially her family, will forever cherish the memories of this extraordinary woman.
A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, 4600 Belle Terre Pkwy, Palm Coast, FL 32164 on March 12, at 11:00 am, followed by internment at Volusia Memorial Park.
