Mrs. Camp was born in Rome, Ga. on January 22, 1931. She was the daughter of the late Thelma Strange Curtis Gilliland and the late Clay Curtis, and wife of the late Paul Camp, Jr. Mrs. Camp was a fixture in the Rome community, living a life of service to those she loved and many she never knew. Her lifelong love of giving back to her beloved Rome community began as a pink lady volunteer for many years at Floyd Medical Center and continued in many ways until her death. She helped her husband run Paul W. Camp Appraisers in Rome for nearly six decades, created a service group called RAH-RAH's (Retired And Happy) out of Trinity United Methodist Church in Rome to help elderly people get out of their homes and find friendship and fun, and ran the live nativity at Trinity for decades.
Mrs. Camp loved her friends and family dearly. She loved taking care of people and making sure they felt loved. She loved making the best pot roast in the world for her family on special occasions. She loved supporting her children and grandchildren, as she and Paul never missed a football game, baseball game, gymnastic meet or play, no matter how far away or how long they might take.
She loved her church and church family at Trinity, and the memories it held, as it was where she married her beloved Paul in 1951. She was a woman of faith, a woman of kindness and compassion, a woman of friendship to her many lifelong friends, a woman of servitude to the greater good and a woman who made sure that everything she did, she did with love and commitment, and did it right.
Mrs. Camp is survived by her brother Jerry Curtis (Linda) of Rome; daughter, Linda Gentry (David) of Rome; son, John Camp of Marietta; grandchildren Hannah Gentry Davis (Scotty) of Rome; Bonnie Gentry Maulding of Rome; Taylor Camp of Nashville, Tenn.; Katy Ruth Camp of Marietta; Clay (Amanda) Gentry of Cleveland, Tenn.; and three great-grandchildren, Hayden James Davis, Lucas Scott Davis and Madelaine Grace Maulding.
The family will hold a private family viewing at Trinity (606 Turner McCall Blvd, Rome 30165) from 1:30 to 1:55 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16. The family will receive friends at the church from 2 to 3 p.m. and the church will host the funeral service beginning at 3 p.m., officiated by Pastor Wayne Hopper. A burial service will follow at Oaknoll Memorial Gardens (2549 Shorter Ave, Rome 30165).
