Callee Reann Ortega Hobson

In Loving Memory of Callee Reann Ortega Hobson October 6, 2008 – July 15, 2026 With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Callee Reann Ortega Hobson, who left this world far too soon on July 15, 2026, at the age of 17. Callee was a beautiful young woman whose smile could brighten any room and whose kind heart touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. Though her time on earth was far too brief, she filled it with love, laughter, determination, and unwavering devotion to those she cherished most. She was a 2026 graduate of Stratford High School and an active student-athlete who proudly participated in basketball, softball, and cheerleading. Whether she was on the court, the field, or the sidelines, Callee brought enthusiasm, dedication, and a competitive spirit that inspired those around her. Above every accomplishment, Callee’s greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted wife to Wyatt Hobson and a loving mother to their precious son, Weston. Becoming Weston’s mom was the role she treasured most. Her greatest dream was to be a present, loving mother while building a future that would provide the very best life for him. She had been thoughtfully considering continuing her education in nursing or pursuing a career in aesthetics, excited for the many possibilities that lay ahead. Though those dreams were left unfinished, the love she poured into Weston will remain a lasting part of her legacy. Our family has always lived by a simple but powerful saying: “Love like Jesus.” Callee didn’t just say those words—she lived them every day. She loved freely, welcomed others without judgment, and showed kindness to people the world often overlooked. She had a heart that made others feel seen, valued, and accepted. That Christ-like love was one of her greatest gifts, and it is the legacy she leaves behind. Callee is survived by her loving husband, Wyatt Hobson; her beloved son, Weston Hobson; her parents, Chris and Amber Ortega; her sister, Abygaile McLean and husband, Dalton; her brothers, Blake Ortega and Brantt Ortega; along with many grandparents, extended family members, and countless friends whose lives were forever changed by knowing and loving her. She is also survived by her in-laws Cody and Jessica Hobson who loved her deeply. She is proceeded in death by Great Grandfather Danny Ward, Great Grandmother Evelyn Willis, Great grandfather Richard Willis, Grandfather Patrick Ortega, Aunt Kindy Ward, Uncle Rodney Ward, and Great Grandmother Mary belle Herron. Although her life was tragically cut short, the memories Callee created and the love she shared will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. Her gentle spirit, beautiful smile, and fierce love for her family will never be forgotten. She had her whole life ahead of her, but in the years she was given, she taught those around her the true meaning of grace, compassion, and unconditional love. While we grieve the dreams that will never be fulfilled, we take comfort in knowing that her life pointed others to love more deeply, forgive more freely, and love like Jesus. Her memory will forever be carried by those who loved her, and especially by the little boy who will always know just how deeply his mother loved him.
