Wilbur Allen Callis
Oct. 4, 1943 – July 16, 2022
Wilbur Allen Callis, 78, of Quinton and Cocoa, Florida passed away on Saturday, July 16, 2022 after a long and brave struggle with Parkinson’s Disease.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George Winfred and Hilda Thomas Callis; and his brother, G. Winfred Callis. Allen is survived by his loving wife and caregiver, Gloria; his son, Robert Alan Callis (Mickey Reynolds) of Shreveport, LA; his daughter, Kathryn Donovan of Ridgeville, SC; his step daughter, Angela L. Edwards (Carey S. Lamb) of Richmond, who he always regarded as his daughter; and his special brother-in-law, Benjamin P. “Pete” Collins (Millie). He is also survived by his grandson, Wade Allen Canady of Summerville, SC along with other grandchildren and nephews.
Allen grew up in Deltaville learning the wooden boat building business along side of his dad. After his father passed away, Allen left Deltaville and worked as a project superintendent and manager in commercial construction for some of the larger general contractors in Virginia. He and Gloria over the years enjoyed wintering in Florida and traveling in their motorhome.
The family would like to thank Bon Secours Hospice and the staff of Bon Secours Community Hospice House for their loving and Compassionate Care.
Per Allen’s request, Interment will be private.
We are so sorry to hear of Allen’s passing. We send our love and support to Gloria, Bobby, Kathy and all his family.
From his Aunt Shirley and cousins Danny and MaryJo.
Allen and his brother Winfred lived just across the road from my grandparents house, so we really grew up together. I’ve often thought about Allen and had no idea that he lived in Quinton as well as Florida. Winfred and I kept up because we were in the same class in school. Allen was in the grade below us. He and his brother could sing the Everley Brothers songs and they sounded more like the Everley
Brothers than the real ones did. Many f….ond memories
So sorry to hear of your loss..
Angela you are in my prayers. Having just lost a parent I know the pain you are going through.
I am so sorry to hear of uncle Allen’s passing..you guys are in our thoughts and prayers
FROM, Jeff and Jerry James of North Carrollton MS. We were best friends for life. I now feel alone.
