Callie Nelson Burns
10/31/1984 – 4/13/2025
Lady Callie Nelson Burns was a curious and mystical woman, hailing from Fargo, Grand Forks, Moorhead, and yes even Tipperary, Ireland. She loved heavy metal, hard rock, punk as well as 80s and 90s pop music; Queen, Led Zeppelin, Sonata Arctica and Type O Negative to name a few. Always busy with the next task, Callie thrived on spending time and creating great memories with her family. Callie truly one day wanted to be able to live fully in Ireland; she was very close to her goal and her family will continue the tradition of going to Ireland to pay her respects and enjoy the beauty that she fell in love with. Her best friend and biggest fan was her brother Will, who got her into alternative music/lifestyle from an early age. She was very strong until the very end, she wanted to spend as much time with her family as humanly possible, and we should all respect her for that. We hope she made it to the emerald isle in the great beyond. She is now with her papa whom she loved the very most and talked about ceaselessly; she was his “gem”.
Callie is preceded in death by her father, Will Burns.
She survived by her children, Nate, Ella, Dakota, Paddy, Jada, Mara, and Nina; husband, Jacob; mother, Janelle; and brothers, Will and Luke.
Callie you left a lasting footprint in my heart. Your love for this little island was infectious. At times when I gave up on it, you reminded me how beautiful it truly is. Every time I hear the song She Moves Through The Fair it will remind me of you. Some day we will sing it together among the clouds.
