Marguerite Campbell Obituary

Marguerite "Peg" Campbell

Marguerite "Peg" Campbell died of cancer on Thursday, May 8, at Hospice House in Charlottesville, Virginia. She was 55.

Born July 17, 1952, in London, Kentucky, to Seldon Campbell and Charlotte Cramer Campbell, Peg spent most of her childhood in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

A nurse at the University of Virginia for nearly 30 years, Peg spent the majority of her career as a Certified Specialist in Poison Information at the Blue Ridge Poison Center. She was also an avid photographer. Lately, Peg had been experimenting with using her scanner as a camera, to results that are both elegant and haunting.

Peg was beloved by those who knew her for her charm, beauty, and wit. Her loved ones, especially her children, relied on her insight and sage counsel. Peg was famously impulsive, to the frustration and delight of her friends and family. She was also singularly forgiving and believed that people are inherently good.

Peg is survived by her husband, Juniee Oneida of Charlottesville, Virginia; her sister, Nancy Campbell of Albuquerque, New Mexico; her daughter, Emily Daniel of Palo Alto, California; her son, Sam German of Charlottesville, Virginia; and her stepson, Jonathan Oneida of Charlottesville, Virginia.

She was preceded in death by her eldest sister, Beverly Hiller of Lexington, Kentucky.

Her children will host a gathering in her memory from 3 until 5 p.m. Saturday, July 19, 2008, at LiveArts in Downtown Charlottesville.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations in support of breast cancer research.

I wanted Peg's family to know that we at Belmont Lofts planted a tree in her memory, and will mark it with a memorial plaque this weekend.

Peg was first a student, then a friend. Such a delightful woman who clearly loved her children as much as any mother can. She is missed.

With deepest sympathy. My thoughts are with all of her family. I know she will be sorely missed. We were friends in high school and I lived with her for awhile during our first year at JMU.

We love you Emily and are so saddened by what seemed so early a departure for your delightful mom-but it was our honor to meet her.
