Jane Edith (McCaslin) Callabresi, age 81, passed away on August 2, 2022 in Livermore, Calif., her home for the last 53 years.

Jane was born January 3, 1941 in Stockton, Kansas and met the love of her life, Melvin, at Kansas State University. They married in 1964 and moved to Livermore in 1969. While raising two children, she started her own tax consulting and accounting business and operated it for 35 years.

She was active in the community for decades in school, sports and philanthropic organizations. Jane was a long-time member and officer of the Livermore chapter of PEO, and was an enthusiastic member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and Tri-Delta sorority.

Jane is preceded in death by her parents, Wayne and Mabel McCaslin, and sister, Linda McCaslin Thomas.

She was loving, giving, caring and had an amazing sense of humor. Jane lived life to the fullest, and continually expressed her undeniable enthusiasm and joyful surprise from new experiences. Her greatest pleasures in life were visits with family and extensive travels with her husband and friends. Jane was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and eventually succumbed to the disease after an extended period of time. She will be missed everyday by friends, family, and the community.
