Donald CAMPBELL Obituary

CAMPBELL, Donald Townsend, Sr. It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our beloved father, husband and grandfather on April 10, 2017. Don was born March 4, 1934 in Chester, PA. He graduated from Temple Pharmacy School in Philadelphia, serving as Class Treasurer and Vice President of Phi Delta Chi fraternity. Shortly after passing his pharmacy board exams, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and served two years in Korea. During the next 36 years he had a distinguished sales career with Eli Lilly and Company. He was the only sales representative to be honored twice by his peers with the Arizona State Hospital of Pharmacy. Don shared a lifetime with his one true love Ann, which completed him in every way. He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years; his son, Don Campbell Jr. and daughters, Donna Campbell and Jennifer Campbell-DeGrave (Leigh); grandchildren, Don Campbell III, Seth Alan Campbell and Hunter Leigh DeGrave. We will have a graveside service at Eastlawn Palms Mortuary, 5801 E. Grant Rd. this Saturday, April 15, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Alzheimer's Association. In parting, please repeat to your children our father's favorite saying: "Reading is Knowledge and Knowledge is Power."

When I had a situation that needed resolution Don was there to lend a helping hand, back in June, 1982. I will always remember him for his generosity and our discussions at sales meetings.

Donna, Don, Jennifer and Ann: My heart ached as I learned of Don's passing today. We will miss him and his gentle spirit, but know he's in a peaceful place and probably catching up with My Dad, Peggy, and Karen and many others who have entered the restful phase. We have so many fond memories together from childhood, competitive tennis, Sabino HS, dancing & singing in the living room, making (and burning) popcorn :), studying together and SO MANY LAUGHS! I feel honored and blessed to have been a part of the Campbell Family Life. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help soften the pain. May God Bless all of you. Laura Mac Ban

I knew Don from my years working in the Department of Pharmacy Services at UMC. What a sweet, kind, gentleman! I can still hear his soft voice and hearty laugh! He was the best! My thoughts go out to Donna and the rest of the family.
