Theodora Eudavilla Laughlin Callanan , a lifelong resident of St. Johnsbury, Vt., passed on to the next life on May 29, 2007, with the same grace and poise she showed in life. She was predeceased by her husband, Joseph F. Callanan on Dec. 22, 1980. Born in St. Johnsbury on Sept. 27, 1920, she is survived by her four loving children, Michael John Callanan of Hanover, N.H., Carol Ann Callanan of St. Johnsbury, Debra Sue Clark and Nancy Jo Bourbon of Essex Junction, Vt. She is further survived by her sons-in-law, Eric Clark and John Bourbon; and her grandchildren Christopher Tetreault, Mary Tryhorne and her husband Matt, and Tucker and Sara Bourbon; and a great-grandchild, Javon Tetreault. Theodora, known as Tedo by her friends and family, greatly enjoyed nature and all of God's glory. Some of her fondest memories were of walking Barnet Mountain as a young girl and admiring the trailing arbutus, chokeberries, trillium, lady slippers, and partridge berries. As her children grew, their fondest memories were of the annual vacation spent at Harvey's Lake. There, she enjoyed simple activities like walking to the store, doing the sidestroke and playing cards after dark. Tedo was an avid bowler, winning many trophies with her bowling league. She attended Baypath College in Massachusetts before starting her family. She worked at Centers, W.T. Grant Company, Fishmans, Rinney's Boutique, and Sunshine Boutique. Tedo especially was a great salesperson and really enjoyed stacking the toy department for Christmas. Her children will always remember her making lemon sherbet, potato salad, Yankee pot roast, meatloaf, and mincemeat pie.
