Margaret Callieope "Callie" Johnston, age 85, of Ferns, Ireland; Redondo Beach, CA; Castle Rock, CO passed away on Friday, June 14, 2024. She was born October 13, 1938 in Los Angeles, California to Stamatios and Margaret Refmatas.
Callie loved the beautiful country of Ireland. She spent many years there and always called it "home". She loved to travel, and was always ready for an adventure, whether is was across the globe or a girls trip to the casino. She was full of life and would often say, "Get up, get out, and embrace the day."
Callie was immensely proud of her family, and always put them first. She was a kind and gentle soul who loved to cook and entertain and would not turn down an opportunity for a game of cards. She loved her gardens, and took great pride in her flowers. Never one to miss a game, Callie was a spirited and loyal Manchester United football fan, a team she supported for over 20 years.
Callie is survived by her daughter Tracey Steidle (Timothy Steidle); daughter Margaret McWilliams (Edward McWilliams); son Jonathan Jones (Kristy Jones); sister Helen Alper; grandchildren Heather O'Rourke (Hunter O'Rourke), Jessica McWilliams, Sophia Jones, Modicai Jones, and Dublin Jones; and nephew Omer Alper.
May we also honor her son Charles Johnston, who passed away in 2018.
