Mary Theresa Callahan was born April 22, 1930 in Bayside, New York to Henry and Mary Stanley and went to be with her Lord Saturday, November 25, 2017 at the age of 87. Being named after the Blessed Mother Mary and Saint Theresa the Little Flower, she lived up to her namesakes in her devotion to the Blessed Mother, Jesus and prayer. Her rosary was her constant companion and she prayed it often, enjoying the uncanny ability to smell roses whenever she prayed to Saint Theresa the Little Flower. Mary Theresa was generous to a fault with her time and prayers and became known for her ability to get prayers answered. She was the driving force behind starting “prayer warrior” Prayer Chains at both St. Mary Magdalene and St. Phillip Catholic Churches as well as a guiding light in the beginning of the prayer warriors at St. Martha Catholic Church. She was a lifelong member of the Catholic Daughters and was Past-Presdent of the Women’s Guild at St. Phillips and taught Sunday School for many years. In her younger life in Midland, Texas, she was a youth leader spending much of her time as a CYO sponsor.
