Amos Noble Callaway's Obituary
A. Noble Callaway, III, age 74 of Bridgeville, DE, passed over the river and rested under the shade of the trees in the arms of his Lord on Monday, January 10, 2022. He was born November 12, 1947, in Milford, DE, to the late A. Noble Callaway, Jr and Doris Callaway West.
Noble was raised and lived most of his life on the family farm in Bridgeville. He loved the farm just as his family ancestry has since 1777. He was a 1966 graduate of Bridgeville High School. Noble honorably served in the United States Marine Corps and United States Marine Corps Reserves for a total of 35 years. In Vietnam he served as a sergeant in the Infantry. He rose to the rank of Master Sergeant before being appointed to the Warrant Officer ranks. As a Civil Affairs Officer he served in Norway, two tours in Bosnia, Kosovo, Turkey, Honduras, and Iraq retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer 5. In Noble’s civilian life he worked at the DuPont Plant in Seaford for 37 years. He was a member of Union United Methodist Church in Bridgeville and a life member of the VFW and Marine Corps League.
Noble was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and dear friend who will be missed by all who knew him. He leaves his family with the sentiment, “Until we meet again”.
Noble is survived by the love of his life of 46 years, Martha Pepper Callaway; his three sons: Noble IV and his wife Kara of Bridgeville, DE, Vance and his wife Debra of Camden, DE, and Kevin and his companion Lori of Georgetown, DE; his daughter, Pepper Fausnaught and her husband Jay of Milford, DE; his 11 grandchildren and his 17 great grandchildren.
