Mary Campbell Obituary

Visit the Greenwood Funeral Home website to view the full obituary.
Mary Rizzo Campbell passed away peacefully at the age of 93 on October 16, 2025. She was born on June 21, 1932, in New Orleans, Louisiana, to John Joseph Rizzo and Alma Veronica Boner Rizzo.

Mary was predeceased by her beloved husband of 64 years, Robert Joseph Campbell; her parents; her sister, Theresa Rizzo Kelley; and her brother-in-law, Benjamin Franklin Kelley.

She is survived by her devoted daughters, Carey Smith (Ric) and Sharon Zanca (David), and her cherished grandson, Sean P. Svihla, who brought her endless pride and joy. She is also survived by step-granddaughter Georgia Zanca, nieces Terry Miller and Kelley Serio, and nephew Craig Kelley (Tara).

A proud graduate of the Class of 1950 from Sacred Heart of Jesus High School on Canal Street, Mary spent 15 years working in various jobs after graduation, including real estate, before dedicating herself fully to her most treasured role as a wife, mother, and homemaker. Her family was truly the center of her world.

Mary's kindness and generosity touched many lives. She was a faithful supporter of numerous Catholic organizations, including Christian Brothers and Jesuit High School, and contributed to programs that train and care for military service dogs. Her spirit and compassion for others reflected the depth of her faith and love.

A devout Catholic throughout her life, Mary found great comfort in her faith and could still recite the Mass in Latin - a testament to her lifelong devotion and enduring memory.

Relatives and friends are invited to visit Greenwood Funeral Home, 5200 Canal Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70124, on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, starting at 9:00 AM. A funeral Mass will follow the visitation at 11:00 AM. The burial will be in Greenwood Cemetery.
