ELLSWORTH

Warren Gail Campbell, 86, passed away Thursday, February 12, 2026 in Ellsworth. He was born November 25, 1939 in Ellsworth County to Robert "Pete" and Marie (Irvine) Campbell. He married Lena Tummons in Lawrence, KS on November 3, 1963. Warren was a lifelong cowboy, farmer, and most of all a shorthorn cattle breeder. He passed this love of land and animal stewardship on to his daughters, granddaughters, his grandson, and other young people in his life. He was always ready to lend a helping hand and his knowledge to others by serving as a leader in the 4-H clubs and the Kansas Shorthorn Association. While still farming and taking care of the cattle, he became a school bus driver for USD 327 and drove students safely for nearly 30 years.

Warren is survived by his wife Lena of Ellsworth; daughers, Jennifer Johnson (Tony) of Salina, KS and Valerie Nichols (Terry) of Alvord, TX; son Jamie Westerhaus (Tammy) of Lipan, TX; grandchildren, Taylor Tiemann (Matt), Lacey Hornung (Daniel), and Clay Hokr (Kalynn); and great granddaughter Ellie Hornung.
