It is with hearts full of gratitude and love that we celebrate the remarkable life of Jeanne Campbell. Jeanne Ann Brown was born December 5, 1930, in Britton, South Dakota. The second daughter to John “Jack” and Ida (Breum) Brown, she lost her mother to blood poisoning when she was not yet two years old. Jeanne and her sister were raised in Rutland and Bowman, North Dakota, living with their Aunt Clara and Uncle Lincoln Flados and their daughters, Bev and LaVonne. She also held many fond memories of extended time spent with her grandparents and other relatives in North Dakota.

Jeanne attended business school in Rapid City, South Dakota, and worked at a bank in Fargo until she met the love of her life, Gordon Campbell. They eloped in 1951 and always said that, although some may not have approved, it was the best decision they ever made. They lived in Vermillion, SD; Fort Smith, AR; and Fort Benning, GA, before moving to Aberdeen, where Gordon joined the family lumberyard business. Jeanne was a very busy woman. She spent quality time with her grandchildren, helped out at the lumber yard as needed, and enjoyed time with friends and neighbors. She was very involved with the First Presbyterian Church, PEO, Questers, bridge club, Bible study, and -last but certainly not least- the Republican Party. She also loved auction sales, often outbidding others— not for herself, but so the prize could be gifted to one of her children.

In later years, Jeanne and Gordon continued to spend time traveling and attending their grandchildren’s sporting events. A highlight of their summers was the annual Fourth of July celebration at Richmond Lake. Family and friends gathered for fun, food, and the kids’ pageant, which included a parade and skit complete with costumes, music, and speeches centered around a historical theme. All children present were included. Jeanne was known as “Mamere” to her grandchildren, as well as their friends. She always had a ready smile and was a wonderful, generous hostess. Her house was filled with humor and love.

Grateful for having shared Jeanne’s life are her daughter Cathleen Campbell; three sons Roger Campbell, Stuart (Mary) Campbell and Todd (Sherri) Campbell; nine grandchildren: Megan (Matt) Barley, Hayley (Wade) Hiner, Grace Campbell, Tasha (Rich) Chang, Ella (Lincoln) Smith, Gus (Tessa) Campbell, Lincoln Campbell, Claire Campbell and Emily (Brett) Newton; and 19 great-grandchildren: Campbell, Benjamin and George Barley; Audrey, Charles and Henry Hiner; Wesley and Max Chang; Scout, Tilly, Stover and Ledger Smith; Elise Campbell; Chloe and Crew Schlabz; and Maximus, Benjamin, Cameron and Samson Newton. She is also survived by her sister, LaVonne Lutz, and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband Gordon; her parents; and sisters: Joayne (Donald) Hogoboom and Beverly (Jack) Kasper; brother-in-law James Lutz; and sister-in-law and brother-in-law Chloe and Scottie Reutzel.

Jeanne and her family were truly grateful for the excellent care she received from Bethesda Home and Avera Hospice these past few years. The family prefers memorials to First Presbyterian Church of Aberdeen, Bethesda Home of Aberdeen, and Avera@Home Hospice- Aberdeen.
