Obituary For Margaret Callahan
Margaret Callahan of West Yarmouth, formerly of Arlington, MA on June 21, 2022. Cherished daughter of the late Denis and Margaret Callahan. Dear sister of Noreen Cronin, Denis Callahan, Kathleen Grannan, Christine Shanley and the late Mary Guarente, Ann Tibbetts, John Callahan and Eileen Perini. Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Margaret was a talented individual in many areas of her life. She was the first female recipient of the scholar athlete award at Arlington High School. An avid golfer, Margaret played consistently and enjoyed her last round a few days before her passing. She enjoyed playing the piano, reading, painting, traveling and time spent with family and friends. She was loved by her many nieces and nephews. Margaret taught in the Newton school system for many years. She loved teaching and would later recall her valuable experiences. Her talent for relaying her memories into life lessons always prevailed and entertained those who knew her. She will be missed by many.

Mrs. Callahan was my first grade teacher in Newton and I will never forget gathering around the piano to sing Ode to Joy, Do-re-mi and other songs. She so incredibly loving. My condolences to the family. Andrew McDonnell

It was a privilege and delight to golf with Margaret early June of this year. Margaret gave me such inspiration watching her continue to outdo my golf strokes with such grace. Rest In Peace dear Margaret. Patricia Cabral

Margaret was truly wonderful. I always had so much fun when we golfed together. Our concentration on our golf game was constantly interrupted with gales of laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with Margaret's family and all who knew and loved her. Rest In Peace, Dear Margaret. Sally Dunphy
