Jennifer Callen

Jennifer Lee Callen, born on November 26, 1978, in Seoul, South Korea, passed away on May 19, 2026, with loved ones by her side. Raised in Maplewood, MN, Jen graduated from North St. Paul High School and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Beloit College and a master’s in social work from St. Louis University. Jen was certified in TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) and worked in the St. Louis school district prior to opening her private practice focusing on children’s mental health. After her return to Minnesota, Jen joined Spring Health in 2020 and transitioned from direct care to clinical quality improvement. 

An avid traveler, Jen had an adventurous spirit and loved hiking, always aiming to conquer whatever mountain lay before her. Her competitive nature extended beyond the trails; she found joy in many hobbies, including crocheting, scrapbooking, volleyball, photography and indulging in her passion for food and wine tasting.

Jen is reunited with her dad Dick Callen, her grandparents, and her uncle Don Howard.

Jen is survived by her loving mother Sandra Callen; sister Kate (Nate) Solberg, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

The family extends their gratitude and thanks to Dr. Miheer Pujara and the Health Partners team and Lakeview Hospital Hospice.

A celebration of Jen's life will be held on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at Bethel Lutheran Church - Highlands Campus. Visitation from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM with a memorial Service at 4:00 PM. Her service will be livestreamed on Bethels YouTube page HERE. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, any donations be made directly to a charity of your choosing.
