June Callwood - Personal Life

Personal Life

Callwood and Frayne had four children together: two daughters and two sons. The daughters are noted authors Jesse and Jill Frayne, and the elder son is Brant Frayne. The second son and youngest child, Casey Frayne, was killed on April 19, 1982, when he was 20 years old, by a drunk driver on Highway 401 as he returned home from Queen's University. Callwood's death came only days before the 25th anniversary of her son's death.

Callwood obtained her pilot's licence in the late 1940s and maintained the licence throughout her life.

Callwood was an atheist throughout life. She stated in a very last interview that she still did not believe in God nor an afterlife, but instead believed in kindness.
