Our deepest heart felt condolonces. From one Campbell family to another.
Doug & family. So sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. She was a special lady who touched the lives of many children and adults.
Thinking of you during this time of loss.
Great neighbours for so many years, our thoughts are with you!
To Doug & Family:
Many fond memories of Phyllis come to mind. In particular her years spent at Oyama Elementary School. I recall how much Phyllis unselfishly contributed to the well-being and pleasant atmosphere of school life. She assisted so many teachers and pupils far beyond her role as receptionist and secretary. I remember her, not only as a colleague, but as a genuine friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family as they celebrate her honorable life.
Sincerely,
Elgin & Yvonne Parker
We will miss such a wonderful neighbor!!! So sorry for your loss.
Doug & family
After hearing of the passing of your mom I was flooded with many great memories of my time with her at Oyama Elementary. She was so much more to us than a secretary. Mrs. Campbell was so compassionate, understanding and when needed she was like a mother to all of us. I will cherish the conversation we had at Dave’s funeral where I told her that I had followed in her footsteps working as a secretary in an elementary school. I shared with her that my hope was to try to make a difference in kids’ lives just like she did.
