Mason Morrow Campbell

It is with deep sadness that we mourn the recent passing of Mason Morrow Campbell. Born in Montreal on July 13, 1927 to Ruby and Roy Campbell, Mason was in his 91st year. He was a husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and senior member of a large and growing family. In 1953 he graduated from McGill University and married Noreen Pardo. Soon after, the couple moved to Morin-Heights, the small Laurentian town where he had spent many happy summers growing up on the Campbell Farm. It was there that he and Noreen bought their first house together, started their family and began his career in education as the principal of the Morin-Heights elementary/high school. Mason went on to teach at Rosemere High before becoming principal of Gordon and Highcliff elementary schools in Duvernay, a job he enjoyed for many years before joining the North Island Regional School Board as a board administrator. He retired to Morin-Heights in 1980 to pursue his interests, that over the years, included gardening, fishing, guitar, hobby farming, reading and spending time with family and friends. He was an avid follower of politics, the stock market and world events. He is survived by his wife Noreen, his children, Malcolm, (Sandra), Susan, (Martin), Donna, (Gerard), Pamela, (Ron) Cynthia, his grandchildren, Vanessa, Cory, David, Lee, Sean, Stephen, Lisa, Michael, Melissa, Zoe and Noah and his great grandchildren Jacob, Ophelia and Emily. At his request a private Celebration of Life will be held in place of a traditional funeral service.
