Memories and Condolences
for Anne Campbell

Not sure what to say?





To Graham, Colin, Cecelia, Elizabeth and Heather. The Thurston family extends their heartfelt sympathy to you all. Ric and Lori especially have fond memories of both you boys at Waddell. Personally, I have wonderful memories of conversations Anne and I would enjoy when she would be out on an errand and see me in the yard working. She always stopped at the curb and we had great chats while she never left the driver seat. I also recall once I stopped by her home and she took me on a tour of her yard which she was so proud of, especially the fence. She spoke so proudly of her boys, Cecelia and her beautiful and accomplished granddaughters. She is now reunited with her beloved Donald and may they both know the graciousness of our Lord. God Bless all of you and peace be with you.

I knew your mom when she did private duty at Crestfield. We ate lunch together every day and she gave me countless words of wisdom and insight. I have always and will continue to hold her in a very special place in my heart. My deepest condolences to you.

To the Campbell family:

Anne was a great friend to my mother-in-law Margaret Dunfield (who passed away in 2011). They shared their Scottish birthplace, their church, and so many similarities in personality.
I am so sorry for your loss and will remember Anne fondly.

Colin, Graham and family, We will always remember your mom for her gentle kind ways and thoughtfulness. Natalie remembered how she would walk her to Waddell school all those years ago or invite her down for a visit whenever she was home from college. She never missed an opportunity to update us about her beautiful grand children. We will miss her deeply. Our kindest sympathies to you all. Carl, Brenda and Natalie
