CM Dec 14 1940 – July 9, 2023.  Smart.  Talented.  Funny.  And so good-looking.  New York City girl. Brilliant artist.  Eye.  Touch.  Discrimination.  Range.  The hand sketch of John Lennon.  Subway scenes in acrylic.  Mystical oil of two sisters, vaguely drawn, fully described.  Laughing  in the company of lively people; too entertained by life to spend much time wondering what it was all about.  Idaho girl.  Cheerleader. Lithe, rhythmic.  The Dance:  western airs  … Johnny Lee: ive spent a lifetime looking for you …    GB  pour moi: you could have missed the pain, but you'd have had to miss the dance

I'm so sorry to learn of Camille's death.  I graduated from Boise High School (Boise ID) with her in 1958.  She was a very important member of our class and a genuinely delightful woman  We will all miss her..  

Camille was one of the most popular and beautiful girls in our Boise High class of 1958, which, at that time, was the largest graduating class of seniors in the state.

I'm sure those qualities continued to be hers throughout the rest of her life.  

My love and best wishes to her family at this time,

Dick Johnson

Camille’s art that she gave me as a wedding gift.  I’m so grateful to have a piece of her originality and talent.  We were born the same day, same year at St. Al’s in Boise.  We were college roommates.  I  miss her deeply.

Dear Bill, Chris & I are so sorry you have lost your beautiful, vivacious, kind Camille. She enriched our lives with her joyous spirit. 
We will be thinking of you, Dee and the boys in the sad, dark days ahead. It was an honor to know her. All our love, Chris & Marty

Dear Bill and Dee,

Another bright star has burned out in the galaxy and our world is a little darker because of it.  Camille was one of  a kind.  A bright and shiny star, a person who focused on the positive and a truly remarkable human being who was not afraid to speak her mind, try new things and live out her best life. Even when we disagreed at work,  I don't  think I ever  got angry with her. And that's saying a lot.  She was an amazing artist and writer with her wicked sense of humor. She made my life better as my work partner and just as a woman I looked up to for inspiration, advice and friendship. She loved  all of you so very much and was so proud of everyone in the family.  Sending you my most heartfelt condolences for this most daunting loss.

Dear Bill and Dee:

I learned of Camille's passing through Diane. I am saddened that my own health prevented me from visiting her one last time. She was one of a kind. Please know that Paula and I share your loss. 

Deepest sympathy,

Don and Paula

Camille painted this from a photo of my dog, Vinci and me.  She was an incredibly talented and spectacular human being.  She was one-of-a kind for sure...and I was so fortunate to have her in my life.  That big, beautiful smile will be forever imprinted in my heart.  She will be sorely missed.  Sincerest condolences to Deidre, Bill, and her two beautiful grandsons....she loved you all so very much,  

Dee, 
Your mom was one of a kind.  She spanned the generations effortlessly.  She was my mom's work colleague and friend, and yet when she visited she wanted to know what the "kids" were up to. I can remember having real conversations with her on the beach at OBP.  Over these past few years she would reach out to me to see how mom was doing.  Always caring, always interested.  I am deeply sorry for your loss.

love,
Timmy Wasley
