Not sure what to say?

Betty was a very unique person! I enjoyed doing her nails every Tuesday at the Bridge of Hickory Woods as Activities assistant Director. She also loved Bingo too. Everyone knew her "roller" as it had a big orange fluffy pom pom on the front! She was quite a character & a joy to know.

She was always smiling. I had her for accounting and for some reason I remember typing in her room. That hallway in the 90’s at SHS was never boring. You had her on one side and Truax on the other. Never a dull moment with her. Can you imagine all the bulldog mascots that she helped with that greeted her in heaven? She loved her animals. ♥ Class ‘93

So sad to hear. She was a great person. She taught me at Smyrna High for 3 years of accounting. At the time the school only had Accounting 1 and Accounting 2. I can remember her in 1990 or 1991 going to the school and fighting for an accounting 3 class for only 3 of us students that she taught simultaneously as she did her Accounting2 class.

I have spoken about Mrs. Campbell quite often since graduation, she was one of my favorite teachers from the class of 83. I have shared many great memories with friends, my children, and grandchildren with affection when I spoke of my high school years in her classroom. I would like to tell her family that she was loved by many of us(her forever cherubs). Fly high sweet lady. Melissa

Any student was been lucky if Mrs. Campbell was their teacher. If you asked me to name Amy teacher K-12, her name would have always come first. She cared about every student that walked through her door. She called us all Cherubs. Fly high Angel! Signed, one of your cherubs

Mrs. Campbell was one of a kind! I learned all the basics of accounting from her and even pursued business related field as a result of her influence. Her passion for setting her students up for success was very evident. Her school spirit was unmatched.
Prayers for her family during this difficult time.

The most wonderful woman and teacher I've ever hadtge pleasureof meeting. I still hear her dismiss class ... "Have a great day, stay out of trouble, and smile."
