Janet also leaves behind her beloved niece, Kelli Mayhorn (Jon), and caregiver, Nancy Beasley, who Janet considered as a best friend and daughter.

Janet was preceded in death by her loving husband, Frank Ross Campbell, with whom she shared a beautiful marriage since 1958. She was also preceded by her parents, Kelly Slemp Hale and Comena Maye Hale, as well as her brother, Jim Hale, and sister, Connie Hale.
