Margaret Jane (Peggy) Smith Callier
November 10, 1919 - October 6, 2014
AMARILLO, TX Margaret Jane (Peggy) Smith Callier, 94, of Amarillo, Texas, died Monday, October 6, 2014. Committal services will be at 11:00AM, Thursday, October 9, 2014, in Sparkman Hillcrest Mausoleum in Dallas. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors, 2800 Paramount Blvd., Amarillo.
Peggy was born November 10, 1919, in Dallas, Texas, the only child of Winifred Inez Cash Smith and Ralph Lamar Smith. Growing up on Normandy Street, Peggy loved her Highland Park heritage. She attended Armstrong Elementary School and was in the 1937 graduating class of Highland Park High School. In the Fall of 1937, Peggy enrolled at the University of Colorado where she pledged Kappa Alpha Theta.
In September 1942, Peggy married Texas A&M graduate Second Lieutenant Thomas P. Callier of Crockett, Texas at Highland Park Methodist Church. After a brief wedding trip, Callier left for the North African and European Campaigns of World War II. Upon Callier's return from World War II combat, the young couple was stationed at Ford Ord, California.
At the close of World War II, the Callier's returned to Dallas where Thomas began a 40 year career with the E.I. DuPont Company. The couple built a home on Marquette Street in Dallas, only to have to leave as DuPont began transferring the, then, young family on five different occasions. The Callier's moved to Waco in 1946, Austin in 1948, El Paso in 1954, Indianapolis in 1964, and finally, to Oklahoma City in 1968. Peggy adapted well to all the new cities where she would become involved in their Presbyterian Church, her children's activities, Little League, Woman's Club and many Republican organizations. In Indianapolis and Oklahoma City, Peggy became very focused on the genealogy of her family and traced her ancestors to pre-American Revolution. She was an active member and officer of several National Societies including Dames of the Court of Honor, Daughters of Colonial Wars, Colonial Daughters of the XVII Century, Colonial Dames of the XVII Century, Daughters of the American Colonists and Daughters of the American Revolution.
Peggy always said she would return to Dallas one day and upon her husband's death in May 2005, she set that as her goal. In August 2008, after being away from Dallas for more than sixty years, she moved back to Dallas where she lived until November 2013. In late November she moved to Amarillo, Texas to the Craig Residence where she lived until her death. Peggy had a life long love of playing Bridge. She also enjoyed Aggie sports, TCU sports, the Texas Rangers and the Dallas Cowboys. In Oklahoma City, she was in numerous book clubs, Oklahoma Art League, Chapter DD of P.E.O., Oklahoma City Republican Women's Club, and the Red Bud Women's Club.
Peggy was preceded in death by Tom, her husband of 63 years.
Survivors include her children: daughter, Nancy and her husband John Kritser, Amarillo, Texas, Judi and her husband Hanno von Collenberg, Las Cruces, NM; son Thomas P. Callier, Jr.; grandchildren: Suzanne Callier Belcher, Denver, Colorado, Robert Hale Belcher, Dallas, Texas, Pamela Bryne Stephens, Boerne, Texas, Thomas P. Callier II, Buena Vista, Virginia; great-grandchildren: Sydney, George Hanno, Mitchell, and Mason Stephens all of Boerne, Texas; special friends: Mary Elaine Kritser, Dallas, and Kelly and John Kritser, Jr., Tulsa, Oklahoma.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to: Crown of Texas Hospice Foundation for Hospice Care of the Southwest, 6600 Killgore Drive, Suite 110, Amarillo, Texas 79106; or to Nancy and John Kritser Endowed Scholarship in Nursing at Texas Christian University, Office of University Advancement, TCU Box 297044, Fort Worth, Texas 76129.
