Elizabeth Calleton Obituary

2/16/1935 - 10/24/2018For Beth Calleton, ensuring that every child was a wanted child was her life's work. Through her decades of service to Planned Parenthood of Pasadena (including 22 years as Executive Director), as well as her volunteer efforts on behalf of The League of Women Voters, Young and Healthy, Zonta, the Altadena Children's Center, The United Nations Association, the Women's City Club and the Pasadna Senior Center, she strove to ensure that all people had access to health care, education, and the information they needed to make the right decisions for themselves. In her rare moments of free time, she enjoyed traveling to Russia, China, India, Ethiopia and Vietnam. She also enjoyed spending time with her children, Chris and wife Jennifer, Pam, and Susan and husband Curt as well as five glorious grandchildren; Eric, Rachel, Kylie, Cade and Keira and her beloved pets, Abby and Cleo. To help continue her work on behalf of the people of Pasadena, please consider a donation to the Pasadena Community Foundation, Elizabeth Brown Calleton endowment fund, indicate Calleton in the memo.

Susan, Pamela, and Chris, I'm so sorry for the loss of your remarkable mother. Your Dad and Gil and I learned to rock climb together with the Sierra Club in 1966-68. We would go to Tahquitz and Yosemite and your mother brought you, Susan and Pamela, along camping. Chris, you hadn't arrived quite yet. Wonderful happy memories.

Beth was my mentor and taught me to raise money! Most dedicated
person I ever knew and maybe the most intelligent. She was a
wonder to work with and I am forever grateful for all she
taught me and all she did for women everywhere.

I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the broken hearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. (Isaiah 61:1, 2) With heartfelt sympathy
