Obituary

Vincent Micheal Calligan, Sr., was born on November 18, 1939 to Willie and Louvenia Pickens Calligan in Cheneyville, Louisiana.  He departed this life Tuesday, April 3, 2018 in the comfort of his home.

He was baptized at an early age at St. Edward's Church in New Iberia, Louisiana. He later joined St. Henry Catholic Church in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

On June 4, 1966, Vincent married the love of his life, Helen Marie   Adams in Westlake, Louisiana. Four children were born from their   union, two sons and two daughters. They would have been married 52 years in June.

Vincent was a dedicated, hard worker for many years. Although he had an early medical retirement in 1990, when his health was better, he later returned to work for several more years. During those years, he was the first African-American Borden's driver to deliver in the schools and surrounding areas.

He enjoyed spending time outside in the yard, and traveling to see  family and friends.

Vincent was preceded in death by his daughter, Theresa Ann Calligan; his father and stepmother, Willie and Dorothy Calligan; biological  mother, Louvenia (Pickens) Calligan; two brothers, Willie and Cephas Calligan; four sisters, Nettie Topps, Mildred Calligan, Joyce Kelley, and Vera Scott.

Mourning his passing, yet cherishing sweet memories are his wife, Helen Calligan; sons, Vincent Calligan, Jr. of Houston, Texas and Derrick W. (Tiwaah) Calligan of San Jose, California; daughter, Katrina Calligan of Lake Charles, Louisiana; one sister, Joann Calligan Modica of Desoto, Texas; three grandchildren, Vincent Calligan, III, Derrick Z. Calligan, and Zachariah Calligan; two godchildren, Simone Johnson of Richmond, Texas and Brittany Jacobs of Lake Charles, Louisiana; and a host of other family members and friends.
