PARAGOULD - Robert Joel Campbell, 82, passed away peacefully from this life Wednesday, July 19, 2023, at the Flo and Phil Jones Hospice House in Jonesboro. He was born Feb. 19, 1941, to Troy and Susie Campbell in Marmaduke.
Bob married his sweet wife Charlotte Ann Overman Campbell on July 1, 1961. They remained by each other's side for 62 years.
He was a member of the 7th and Mueller Church of Christ where he and his wife attended together for 62 years. Bob enjoyed preaching over the years and he also loved to teach the adult Bible class.
Bob was very well-known in his community and by his family for his valued work ethic. He remained employed well into 2023 at 82 years of age until his illness had to slow him down. He worked for Campbell's Termite and Pest Control and Terminix for a combination of 59 years.
He was devoted to his family and he was so proud of them. He could often be found in the nearest rocking recliner holding a grandbaby or great-grandbaby.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Troy and Susie Campbell; brothers, Wayne Campbell, Vernon Campbell, Virgil Campbell and Telpher Campbell; sisters, Ellison Weatherford, Margaret Khoury and Wanda (Tiny) Camp; and a son, Chad Campbell.
Bob is survived by his wife, Charlotte Ann Overman Campbell of the home; children, Greg Campbell, Susie and Johnny McCarroll, and Tim and Sheryl Campbell; grandchildren, Aaron and Lindsey Campbell, Katie and Jason Osburn, Ross and Katy Campbell, Hilary and Zac Qualls, Cody Campbell, Kyle Campbell, Abbé and Scott Utter, Blake and Chelsey McCarroll, River and Zach White, Tucker and Elisabeth Campbell, and Aysia and Wilson Miskelly; and great-grandchildren, Sutton Campbell, Scottie Campbell, Emmett Osburn, Sophia Osburn, Ava Osburn, Liam Campbell, Raegan Campbell, Campbell Denise Qualls, Turner Qualls, Lucy Utter, Charlie Utter, Griffin McCarroll, Tucker McCarroll, Campbell Ray White, Miles White and Flora Kay White.
The family received friends Friday evening at 7th and Mueller Church of Christ. The funeral service, under the direction of Phillips Funeral Home, will be 11 a.m. today, July 22, at the church with Larry McFadden and Danny Eubanks officiating. Burial will follow in Greene County Memorial Gardens.
