Hanover, NH- Calista Ann Levakis died unexpectedly on April 25, 2025, at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH. She was born to Kimberlee Collins and Gage Levakis on April 11, 2025. Though only here 14 days, her time here filled our lives with light, love, and hope.

Born after an emergency c-section, Calista came home healthy and strong. She had the brightest blue eyes and a "crazy spirit". Alert and wide-eyed, she soaked in the fresh springtime air around her. She especially loved being outside, whether on little walks or during a special trip to the park with her proud big brother, Finley. He adored his little sister from the very beginning. He attended the baby shower, spent time with her in the hospital, celebrated Easter with her, and greeted her each morning of her life with a smile full of joy, love and excitement.

Calista was beautiful, curious, and full of a fierce, unforgettable spirit. She shared an especially close connection with her mother; quiet days held close, where love and nourishment flowed freely between them. Calista's dad was known to her for the warmth and comfort he provided her in her most tender moments. Her sudden and unexpected death leaves an immeasurable ache in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

She is forever loved by her parents, Kimberlee and Gage of Hanover, her big brother Finley, maternal grandmother, Amber Renault, paternal grandparents Erik Levakis and Jessica McCoy, aunts Chloe Dearden, Alonnah Levakis, and Cailey Gunn, uncles Malakai Charbono, Gaige Collins, and Cooper Lynch, and by many cousins and extended family members.

We will celebrate her life on Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 2pm at the Knight Funeral Home in White River Junction, VT with burial to follow in the Sacred Heart Cemetery in Lebanon, NH.
