Leah Campbell Obituary

Beloved wife, mother and devoted friend, Leah Campbell passed peacefully from this life at home with her family on May 28, 2008.

Born in 1950 to Melvin and Alice Fullerton, Leah moved all over the U.S. before settling in Fairfield. Here she met and married Michael Campbell. Together they had two children, Chris and Jennifer.

Leah lived to see each of her children marry and become parents; and her grandchildren, Sam and Violet, brought joy to her life.

Preceded in death by her parents, Melvin and Alice, Leah is survived by her brothers, Les and Mark; her husband, Michael; her children and their families; and countless friends.

The family asks that friends and anyone who loved Leah join them in remembering her at St. Mark's Lutheran Church at 7 p.m. Monday, June 2.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Cancer Society are much appreciated.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Leah was a wonderful and lovely person. I am so glad I was able to get to know her during the time I was working at SCC. After I moved out of state I would come and visit my family and I had to visit SCC and Leah would be one of a few I would come to visit. She loved it when I brought my two little kids with me to visit. I am going to miss her greatly.

To Leah's Family,

I worked with Leah at Solano College for many years. I was a division secretay for Fine Arts. Leah could always be counted on to help or answer any questions I called her with and ALWAYS with humor and kindness. She was so good to me when my husband died. It was always a treat to be in her company. I loved her and I will miss her. My heart hurts for you all.

I knew Leah for only a short period of my life, but she was the type that made you feel as if you were friends forever. Her smile, warmth, and joy just shone like light beams from her always guiding you the right way. No matter how small the problem, she took time to give it her all to help you. I can say that yes I LOVED Leah, for she was LOVE and I thank my Lord she was in my life even as a quick wink. My Love to Her Family, remember how truly we all were blessed to have such as Wonderful daughter,wife,mother,grandmother,
aunt and friend. Leah- Always in my Heart and Memory....Love Rosey

Although I worked with Leah for only one year in Human Resources at Solano College, the time I did have to know her, talk with her, and share life stories was a pleasure and honor. She will be greatly missed by everyone she knew. I wish her family strength and give my sympathy for their loss.

Jennifer, I know it has been such a long time since we last spoke but I want you to know how much I am thinking about you and your family right now. Your mom was fantastic and she put up with our "Jean Claude Van Damme-a thons". My heart broke when I found out this morning because no matter what happened in life, you and your family were such a great part of mine and I will always love you for that. My prayers and thoughts are with you and I am truly sorry.

Where ever she was, Leah was always a warm and delightful person to be around. I am heartsick at her passing. May time ease your pain and wonderful memories flood your hearts.
