Sherry Faye Campbell

She was my favorite teacher at SCS. She always had an encouraging word to give, but at the same time never let me get away with anything but my best. I´m thankful for her impact in my life. Mrs. Campbell, rest with Jesus.

It´s taken me a while to "tackle" this writing remembrances of Sherry. I can´t add anything new to her qualities-they´ve been well documented. I do know that life´s landscape has changed a little without her. I´ve known her for so many years, and Sonny before me, but I became so much closer to her in her "Parkinson´s years." She shared emotions about the disease (she realized that it cost her dearly) and we prayed together about mutual struggles. She certainly faced it with a purpose and was a stubborn fighter and did not allow it to weaken her faith in God. I was honored to help her with some of her projects-I just never knew which one it would be when I went to visit. One thing she maintained over the years was her humor, whether it was Sonny´s kidding her about her "drapery dress" or her continuing smile the last visit I had with her-it was easy to make her laugh! This last visit hours before her mini stroke was one I´ll cherish. May God bless her legacy.

An outstanding teacher and precious Christian, Sherry will be missed by all who knew her. We were so fortunate to have a child in her class at SCS who is now a history teacher herself of 100 seventh graders in South Carolina. Praise be to God for heroes such as this who will teach our children without concern for compensation.
