Mary Esther Thomas Calligan was born on 16 March 1913 in McGill, Nevada.

As child Mary moved with her family to Blacksfoot, Idaho, then to Idaho Falls and ultimately to Pocatello, Idaho, where she spent most of her adult life. Mary is preceded in death by her husband, Thomas J. Calligan and her son, Michael J. Calligan; her brother John Thomas; and her sister Gertrude McLaughlin. She is survived by her daughter, Sharon Propati; and her sister, Margaret Harris; also by her grand-children, Kathleen Propati, Julie Propati, Joseph J.

Mary enjoyed travel and cruising, music (she was an excellent piano player), reading and loved doing all kinds of cross word puzzles. She really looked forward to living to be 100. She really tried but just couldn?t make it. But she lived through a lot of years of history and a lot of changes in our world. She loved the holidays, especially Christmas. The more family the better. Her family will all miss her support, humor, caring and mostly her love. Was a warm, wonderful person. She was simply the best.
