DESNOO, MARY CALLAHAN Feb. 2, 1915 - Nov. 16, 2013 Mother, Wife, Sister and friend to many, left us on a bright Saturday in Sparks, Nevada due to the complications of old age. Mary Callahan DeSnoo was one of ten children born to Thomas and Margaret Hayes Callahan of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. She and her husband Emile (who passed away in 1981) were blessed with five children: Barbara (Dr. Alessandro) Pireno, Joanie (Rob) Prommel, Dennis (Coral), Marianne (Jonathan) Shedd, and Neal (Margaret); and five grandchildren: Alessandro Pireno, Gabriella Pireno, Zachary Shedd, Amelia DeSnoo and Will DeSnoo. She is also survived by her brother Joe and sisters-in-law Kay Callahan and Gloria Callahan and scores of nieces and nephews. She was preceded in passing by her sister Margaret and brothers Ray, Tom, John, Jimmy, and Frank. Her family will miss her and remember her impact on their lives. A celebration of her life will be held at Santa Fe National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, her family recommends a charitable gift to support children and their education.
