Margaret ‘Norrine’ Callaway | 3/18/1935 – 5/14/2018

    Margaret Norrine Callaway left us peacefully on May 14, 2018 surrounded by her loving family. Although she will be dearly missed, we are glad she’s no longer suffering, and we know she was greeted by her husband and her sisters with a jubilant reception.
    Born on March 18, 1935 to Roy Lee Hartnett and Naomi Melvina Christensen Hartnett, Norrine grew up in The Avenues on the east side of Salt Lake City. She graduated one year early from East High in 1952 and went to work for Walker Bank with a goal to buy a car. The 1950 Studebaker was her pride and joy and she always regretted selling it later for a newer modeled vehicle. After a while, she met ‘Wild Bill’ (William Stewart Callaway). He serenaded at her window one night and refused to stop until she agreed to marry him. On September 10th, 1955, Norrine honored that promise. They were an odd couple, one sweet and reserved and the other untamed and impetuous, but they stuck together through thick and thin, raising their 4 children in Rose Park for 17 years and later settling down in Downey, Idaho.
    In 1984 Norrine became the general manager of Frontier Pies in Pocatello, Idaho. In 1987 she traveled with her family to Atlanta, Georgia to launch a new branch of the same restaurant. In both, all of her employees referred her as ‘Mom’. One year later, she returned home to Utah and opened the Olde Tyme Pie Shoppe in Helper, but everyone just called it ‘The Pie Shop’ and knew Norrine as ‘The Pie Lady’. A fitting name for someone so sweet.
    After Bill passed away, Norrine moved to Midway, Utah to live with her youngest daughter in 2007, and spent her final year at The Abbington in Heber City, Utah. A special thanks to the staff at The Abbington and Simbi Homecare for making her last days comfortable. They loved Norrine and treated her with dignity and respect.
    Anyone who knew Norrine would agree that she was the embodiment of love and service. She taught everyone strength, endurance, and to never ever give up on the people you care about. No one is more deserving of a rest in paradise.
    Survived by her children: Stewart Callaway, Crysanne Hall, Cynthia (Lee) Dayley, and Angela (Travis) Hartley. Grandchildren: William (Krystal) Callaway, James Callaway, Kimberly Callaway, Kaeci Callaway, Steven Callaway, Ryan Hall, Grayson Hall, Tara Dayley, Megan Dayley, Matthew Dayley, Kiernen Hartley, Tristen Hartley, and Autumn Hartley. Great Grandchildren: Shea Callaway, Alex Callaway, Neveah Callaway, Dominic Callaway, Vanessa Callaway, Tyson Reynolds, Lily Reynolds, and Grace Reynolds.
    Preceded in death by her husband, William Stewart Callaway; parents, Roy and Naomi Hartnett; siblings, Eileen Jensen, Royene Colby, Julie Brinton, Vanice Rice, and Billy Hartnett; granddaughter, Kaitlyn Hall Reynolds.
