Anna Camp

Anna Marie Camp, 92, of Normal, Illinois, passed away at McLean County Nursing Home on Friday, October 20, 2023. She was born in Ft. Madison, Iowa on December 17, 1930 to Theodore and Anna (Knight) Levick. She married the love of her life, Rev. Walter R. Camp on August 24, 1950.

Anna spent her life with her husband of 60 years in support of the American Baptist Churches. Their faith and Christian spirit motivated them to lead eight churches throughout the Midwest. She loved to travel and was fortunate enough to see many beautiful places such as Alaska, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park and numerous other sites throughout the south and along the east coast. She was an avid gardener and enjoyed being outdoors in the beauty of nature. She was an excellent baker, cook, knitter, quilter, flower arranger and fastidious organizer. She will be remembered by her family for her commitment to her faith and family.

She is survived by her children: Carolyn (Ronald) Manslow, David (Beth) Camp, Jane (John Stewart) Camp, 5 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren and her sisters Kathryn (Bill) Bannon, and Marjorie (Carroll) Elmore. She was preceded in death by her husband, her son Russell and his wife Sandy.

Cremation rites have been entrusted with East Lawn Funeral Home, Bloomington. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. at First Baptist Church of Bloomington on Saturday, October 28, 2023.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation at jdrf.org. This organization helps find better treatments, preventions and hopefully a cure for type 1 diabetes. Her son Russell passed due to complications from type 1 diabetes, and two of her grandchildren also have type 1 diabetes.
