Andrew Campbell Obituary
Andrew J. "Doodle" Campbell, 87, of Front Royal, Virginia, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 9, 2022, at the Blue Ridge Hospice Inpatient Care Center in Winchester, Virginia.
Per Doodle's request, a graveside service will be held on Tuesday, October 18 at 2:00 p.m. at Prospect Hill Cemetery with Sammy Campbell officiating.
Doodle was born February 2, 1935, in Browntown, Virginia, son of the late Henry S. "Snoots" Campbell and Mazie Willingham Campbell.
Doodle was married to the love of his life, Ruth E. Campbell, for 57 years. He was a US Army veteran and for 37 years owned and operated Campbell's Citgo in Front Royal. His greatest love was family, and he certainly became family to his many loyal patrons over the years. His ever-present smile and helpful demeanor were his calling card and will be sorely missed. Along with his siblings, he was an integral part of sustaining the family farm on Buck Mountain for decades. He will be long remembered for his kindness, infectious laugh, cake baking and love of desserts.
Surviving, along with his wife, are his siblings, Donald R. "Billy" Campbell and wife Johana of Front Royal, Ernest B. "Buster" Campbell and wife Judy of Front Royal, Lois C. "Mettie" Baker of Browntown, and Retha C. Smith and husband Jimmy of Front Royal, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by siblings, Lawrence S. Campbell, Edith C. Welsh, and Charles B. "Charlie" Campbell; siblings-in-law, Cordelia "Dee" Campbell, Jerry "Pete" Welsh, and Orviel Baker; and two nieces and nephews.
