Linda D. Campbell

A Journey Begins . . . Linda D. White Campbell was born on September 17, 1945 in Dover, North Carolina to Mr. John Henry and Mrs. Beatrice H. Dunk White. Linda attended the public schools in Dover and Fort Barnwell, North Carolina. After graduating from Newbold High, she attended Elizabeth City College, Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Linda moved to Richmond, Virginia in 1967 after spending two years in New York. Linda was united in holy matrimony in July 4, 1970 to MacArthur Campbell. They were blessed with one son, Reginald V. Campbell. Linda worked 18 years at General Electric and 26 years at Bank of Virginia/Wachovia as a Financial Secretary, where she retired in 2005 due to illness. Linda was reared in a family surrounded by an abundance of love and a home where Christian principles were preached by her parents and instilled.She accepted Christ as her personal Savior at the early age of 13 and joined Sand Hill Baptist Church in North Carolina. Linda served as a member of the choir and Sunday School Teacher until she moved to Richmond, Virginia. After moving to Virginia, she joined Shiloh Baptist Church. She later transferred her membership to Mount Olive Baptist Church. She was very active, serving as Church Clerk/Secretary, sang in the choir, President of the Young Adult Choir, Media Ministry, Pastoral Relations, and Sunday School Teacher. She was always willing to assist where she was needed and did it with love, giving all she had. She was a faithful and devoted member even in her declining health. Surely God had smiled upon Linda for allowing her to share her life with us for 67 years. During this life span, Linda has spread enormous amounts of love, cheerfulness and support to those lives she has touched. Even though she became unable to do the things she loved, Linda endured it with strength, patience, fortitude, faith and the spirit of God, until God saw fit to call her home on March 1, 2013, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints” Psalm 116:15. Linda D. Campbell was preceded in death by her parents, John Henry and Beatrice Dunk White and siblings Henry Earl, Ruby and Verna Delores. She leaves to loving remember her life: her husband, MacArthur Campbell of the home; son, Reginald V. Campbell (Robin); grandson, Christopher Campbell; brother, Delano White (Brenda); three sisters, Mateleine Kelly, Lydia Richardson and Carolyn Ferguson (Rufus); a host of devoted nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends. We, her family loved Linda very much and are sadden by our loss. But we know that the loss is not for ever. We are very thankful that God saw fit to loan her to us for a little while. We know we will always have favorable and loving memories of her to cherish. We love you!
