Mary Louise Mellor Callister, 90, Loving Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother, earned her angel wings March 20, 2026 surrounded by her family.
Mary Louise was born February 21,1936 in Aurora, Utah to Charles Merrill Curtis and Wanda Mary Denison. She grew up on a farm in Aurora the oldest of 11 children. Learning to work hard and play hard!
Mom attended North Sevier where she enjoyed learning Science, English, Typing and especially Home Making.
Mom loved to crochet, sew, garden and spend time with her family.
Mom married her sweetheart Darwin Mellor June 19, 1953 in the Manti Temple. Together they raised 5 amazing kids, David (Denise) Mellor, Linda Mellor, Tamera (Pride) Alldredge, Leca Mellor and Sharon Newbold. Dad passed away February 1982.
Mom met Dale Callister and found in him a great travel companion. They were married April 5,1984 and she added 4 more awesome children to her family, Elaine (Gerd) Eysser, Gary (Jeanette) Callister, Janeal (Tom) McEwan and Neil (Andrea) Callister.
With a blended family she had 26 Grandchildren, 58 Great Grandchildren and 17 Great Great Grandchildren!
Mom loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She loved Sundays going to church and feeling of the spirit of our Father In Heaven. She enjoyed her service mission working at the Bishops Store House.
She served in many callings in the different wards she lived in, Primary, Scouting, Relief Society and really enjoyed being a visiting teacher.
She is preceded in death by her daughter Linda, and both Darwin and Dale. We are positive she is having a wonderful reunion with those that have passed before her.
We are missing her so much already!
We would like to thank Ovation Hospice and especially Janice and Rachel, the nurses who took very good care of her. We would also like to thank Copper Creek Senior Living Center Staff and Residents who welcomed her with open arms and made it feel like home!

My love and sympathy to the family of Louise Callister. Jim and I became good friends to her and Dale through our association in SUP. WE enjoyed several trips together as well as going out to dinner. Special friends.
