Trudie Marie Campbell, “ReeRee” as she was affectionately called, was born on November 22, 1918 to Myrtle Jackson and Tru Campbell who preceded her in death.  She was an only child. 

She was a faithful member of New Bethel A.M.E. Church in Argyle, where she served in numerous positions.

Her memory and legacy will forever be cherished by her loving and devoted husband of 76 years, Mace E. Campbell; her loving daughters, Carolyn Collins, Anna Cogdell, Connie Wilkerson, Marsha McLendon, and Karan Everett; her loving sons, Bryant Durell Campbell, Clarence ‘Pete’ Campbell, Alfred Campbell, and Mace ‘Skip’ Campbell; loving daughter-in-law, Thelma H.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
