Calley's father, Michael Maine, who started the Corner Pocket and other area businesses, passed away May 2, 2011 at age 62. He battled Polycystic Kidney Disease and had received a kidney transplant in 2008. A Marine who served in Vietnam, he received many accommodations including the Purple Heart.

"She was always ready to cheer people up," a member of the Parmenter family told the West Seattle Herald. "If you were in a bad mood she would poke at you to find out why you were upset. She was a fixer. She was fun, and always the center of attention. She helped out at the bar when needed, but was more of a guest there than an employee in recent years."
