Norma J Campbell

Norma J. Campbell, age 65, of Columbia Heights, MN passed away on Saturday, November 1, 2025. Norma was born on December 16, 1959 in Covington, Kentucky to Norman and Marilyn (Desantell) Traft.
Norma is survived by her husband, Kent Campbell, her son Kingsley (Katie) Campbell, step-sons Bradley Joseph "BJ" (Julie) Campbell, Troy (Erica) Ferencik, step-daughter in law Karline Campbell; as well as her siblings Linda (Dave) Roush, Lisa (John) Traft/Geist, Carolyn, Natalie (Brad) Evans, Brian, David, Steven; grandchildren Desiree, Kaylee, Krew, Jake, Jordyn, Dustin, Amanda, Kaitlyn, Georgia, Cheyenne, and Grace; also great-granddaughter Marley; and many, many other nieces, nephews and other loved ones.
She is preceded in death by her mother, father, step-mother Jan, step-son Brian, and siblings Alberta, Teresa, and Norman, as well as her beloved dog, Lucy.
Norma was always a hard worker. She started out at Northwest Bank, worked evenings at UPS when Kingsley was young, and as CEO of Kent Campbell Trailer Services where she and Kent built a successful business from the ground up, and were able to hand it down as they eased into retirement in the past few years.
She always knew how to keep busy, chatting on the phone to various people every day. She lived a great life, always spicy, doing and saying what was on her mind. It was said that she was the mouth of the south, and always kept tabs on everyone and kept everybody informed on what was going on. Norma always knew how to stir the pot. Most photos of her she had a kitchen towel on her shoulder as she was busy with her tasks.
A celebration of life will be held on Monday, November 17th at 11AM at the American Legion in Fridley at 7365 Central Ave NE, Fridley MN. Please wear your fancy blue jeans, and raise a Budweiser to Norma. She will be laid to rest in a private ceremony at Crystal Lake Cemetery in Minneapolis.
In lieu of flowers you may consider making a donation to the Salvation Army as it was always close to her heart from a very young age.
