Callie was a very outgoing and loving child, who enjoyed spending time with her parents, sisters and grandparents. She always had a smile and could make anyone laugh.

Callie loved to dance, ride on the motorcycle with her dad, and watch Twilight movies with her mom.

She was a girly girl who could almost always be seen wearing a dress, and enjoyed playing with her Monster High Dolls, the Wii, and her dog Bo.
