Callfas, Marlene Anne
June 12, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Marlene Anne Callfas on June 12, 2025, in Regina, Saskatchewan, at the age of 70.
Marlene was born on December 25, 1954, in Regina, Saskatchewan, to Bernard and Francis Borowski. She was the third of eight children raised in Glenavon, Saskatchewan.
Marlene will be remembered with love by her former spouse Glen, her daughter Michelle (Cory) and her son Jamie (Kristy). She will be deeply missed by her grandchildren Jessie (Branden), Landen (McKenzie), Riley (Hailey), Teryn, Jaxon (Sydney), and Aubrey, as well as her great-grandchildren Brielle, Jaxton, and Beckum. Marlene is survived by her beloved mother Francis Borowski, and her seven siblings. She was predeceased by her father Bernard Borowski.
Marlene had a zest for life and lit up every room she walked into. Known for her vibrant personality and natural charm, Marlene had a way of making everyone feel welcome. A true social butterfly, she made friends wherever she went. She was also incredibly hardworking and dedicated to her long-standing career as a mortgage specialist with the Royal Bank of Canada. Her professionalism and commitment not only earned her respect in the industry, but also gave her the opportunity to travel—something she greatly enjoyed. In retirement Marlene settled back to Regina closer to her family. She took great pride in the countless hours she spent volunteering at the Government House.
Marlene will be remembered for her unwavering love for her family and friends, her generous heart, and her unforgettable laugh and style.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family and friends.
A Celebration of Marlene’s Life will be held at a later date.

On behalf of Government House Historical Society (GHHS) Board, we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the entire family of Marlene Callfas who passed away on June 12, 2025. Marlene was a volunteer and committee member of the Vintage and Collectibles sale and became one of the Co-chairs. She was dedicated volunteer, and along with the committee members, she spent many hours checking, accepting donations and ensuring that the donated items are of good quality, the type that guests to the Victorian tea will browse, buy and cherish as they take them home, either as part of their collections or for use in their homes. She will be missed. We hope that her memories bring joy to her family and those who knew her.
You are in our thoughts. Take care.
