Dorothy Stovall Callaway died on May 1, 1999. She was born on January 20, 1912 in McKinney, Texas. Her parents were B. Arthur Stovall and Agnes Craig Stovall. Dorothy married Paul T. Callaway on July 21, 1934. She is survived by her children, Jane Elizabeth Callaway of Austin, Dorothy Ann and her husband, R. Malcolm Brown, Jr. of Austin, and James Paul Callaway and his wife, Judy, of Roanoke, Virginia. She is also survived by her sister, Maxine Steel of Austin and her cousin, Ann Jameson of Hot Springs, Arkansas, and her five grandchildren, David Malcolm Brown of Austin, Julie Mahurin and her husband, Eric Mahurin of Austin, Laurie Ann Frank and her husband, Stan Frank of Cincinnati, Sandra Murray and her husband, Bradley Murray of Dallas, James Edward Callaway of Washington, D.C., and one great grandson, Christopher Eric Mahurin of Austin.
Dorothy received her B.A. Degree in English and
French from Southern Methodist University in 1933. During her University
years, she met Paul T. Callaway, also a student, whom she would marry in
1934. Dorothy and Paul were inseparable until he passed away in 1990.
Dorothy taught in the Austin Public Schools and also was a librarian. Her
main hobby and love was playing her Hammond organ, especially songs from
her early childhood and young adult days. She was also a loyal member of
the University United Methodist Church (48 years) and was an active participant
in the UMC Fellowship Forum. Dorothy was also a very proud and loyal member
of the American Association of University Women (AAUW).
Dorothy appreciated the love and kind attention
from the staff and residents of Highland Hills Healthcare and Rehabilitation
Center of Austin, where she resided. Dorothy Callaway loved her family
and was unfailing in her devotion and support. She was sweet and kind,
always generous, compassionate, and understanding. Her family and friends
will surely miss her.

Dorothy. It is called the
Dorothy Louise Shuttle because she liked jazz. It
was composed and played on my
Roland KR-1070 Digital Electronic Grand Piano.
