Dear Eddie, Richard, and Bruce,
I'm so sorry I missed your mothers funeral! Jean and I went to visit Mrs Campbell when she was at the retirement home.  We had a really nice visit and she showed us her garden where she grew okra that she loved.
She was a wonderful woman and our mothers best friend!
Love to the everyone!

We are grateful for the years shared with Cecilia and Ed Campbell at Heritage Presbyterian Church.  There are memories of N S (None-Such) tomatoes from their garden as well as serious discussions , with Cecilia’s always good common-sense observations.  There was a wonderful support group for widows, which, as you might expect, she organized. When we last spoke with Cecilia, all too long ago, she was working on a book of memories,  a biography of each of her siblings. What a gift !  She was truly a lady for all seasons. 

Mrs Campbell was my sixth grade teacher at Waynewood ES back in 1975-1976 school year.  She was always smiling and I recall the gentle way she read stories and talked with students.  God bless her and her family

Mrs. Campbell was an immensely talented, dedicated, and beloved teacher.  Like all who were fortunate enough to sit in her classroom, I consider myself blessed to have had that experience.  In fact, she had a profound influence on my decision to become a teacher.  Nearly a quarter-century into my career now, I still strive to have some level of the impact on my students that she had on me.  She challenged us but always with the proper amount of guidance and encouragement.  She instilled true self-esteem:  we came to believe in our ability to accomplish something not because she told us we could but because she showed us we could.

One of my most vivid memories of that year was her crying while she read of Leslie's death in Bridge to Terabithia.  That day she opened to us both her heart and the power of literature.  I also recall her having us copy sentences she read aloud.  I think we were practicing spelling but because she read at such a brisk pace, she was also teaching us to listen carefully and take notes thoroughly.  Building those skills paid dividends throughout the remainder of my academic career.  I was saddened to see that year come to an end.  Even then I had some sense of how wonderful it had been.

My sincere condolences to her family.  Thank you for sharing her with us grateful students.  She was an amazing woman.    

Mrs. Campbell was truly an exceptional teacher. I loved her energy, I loved her compassion, I loved her class. 

I find myself working on a project that supports  vocational education right now and can confirm that teachers like Mrs. Campbell who can instill a life long love of learning are truly rare. 

Mrs. Campbell was my 6th grade teacher at Waynewood Elementary and my favorite teacher of all time!  She had a way of encouraging each of us and creating a happy classroom.  I still remember being  mesmerized listening to her reading Charlotte's Web to us.  My friend Diane and I used to go back and visit her occasionally when we needed some support and reassurance from the stresses of  being in junior high.  She was the first teacher to inspire me to do creative writing ; she read one of my essays to the class and said I had a way with words.  And she was patient  with my mediocre math skills.  I hope she knows her legacy lives on in all of us.

I was fortunate enough to have had Mrs. Campbell as my teacher at Waynewood. I have always remembered her fondly. She was a wonderful teacher that taught me to love reading.. a passion I have to this day. I am so sorry for your loss. Blessings and prayers are with you and your family.

I never had Mrs. Campbell as a teacher but I was fortunate to have her as a neighbor for many years.  Great memories of a graceful, smart, generous woman.  My condolences to the Campbell family.

Mrs. Campbell was a fantastic teacher and my favorite at Waynewood Elementary—and there were many good ones at that school!  I had Mrs. Campbell for 4th grade in 1969-70.  She made her students feel so special and welcomed.   Thoughts are with the family.   She was a wonderful woman who I have always admired and remembered fondly.  

Mrs. Campbell is unforgettable to me.  I loved her class so much, and I am forever grateful to have had her as a teacher.

Mrs. Campbell was an extraordinary teacher.  I was blessed to have been her student in 6th grade. She held such class, warmth and an incredible ability to relate to her students not only to make learning interesting, but also  to make students feel good about themselves and give them confidence.  Condolences to her family ❤️

Mrs. Campbell was my favorite elementary-school teacher (6th grade), and one of my favorites at any level. I can say, without hesitation or fear of contradiction, that she was beloved by her students. The year that I spent in her class was one of the happiest of my life. Condolences to her family, and thank you for sharing her with us.
