Bette (Campbell) Vanderhoff Obituary

Visit the Webb-Shinkle Mortuary - Clearwater website to view the full obituary.

Bette Ann Vanderhoff (née Campbell) passed into the arms of her Savior on the morning of November 28, 2025, at the age of 86, surrounded by the love of family at her home in Wichita, Kansas.

Bette was born on September 14, 1939, in Daytona Beach, Florida to Betty and Alex Campbell.

On May 17, 1957, Bette married the love of her life, Albert William “Bill” Vanderhoff, in Wichita, Kansas. Their union, grounded in love and partnership, marked the start of 57 years spent building a family, a farm, and a life rooted in God and community.

Bette Ann will be remembered for her gentle strength, her steadfast faith, and her extraordinary ability to love others without reservation. She leaves behind a family who will carry her light forward, a church community enriched by her service, and countless friends blessed by her hospitality and kindness.

While our hearts grieve the loss of her presence, we rejoice that she is now at home in heaven.

Bette is survived by daughters Vikki Stone and Terri Curtis; brother Dick Campbell; grandchildren Jenny Dejmal Schmidt (Nickolai), David Dejmal (Amber), Rachel Gardner (Mickey), and Ryan Dejmal (Christine); and 12 cherished great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband Bill Vanderhoff; son-in-law Bill Stone; granddaughter Laura Dejmal; brothers Fred Campbell, Bob Campbell, and John Campbell; and her sister June Brown.

A celebration of life service will be held Friday December 5, 2025, 10AM at Bethel Life Center; 3777 S Meridian in Wichita, Kansas. The family invites those who knew and loved Bette to join us in honoring her memory through song, fellowship, and the sharing of treasured stories.

In lieu of flowers, Memorials: Hope Wichita 3777 S. Meridian Ave Wichita, KS 67217.
