Wilfred Henry Campbell
1926-2018
On Saturday, May
12th,
Wilfred peacefully
passed away surrounded by family love. At the age of 92,
Wilfred lived a good long life with his loving and committed wife of
67 years, Bessie (Wright) Campbell.
Born in Mount Pleasant in 1926 to the late Ernest
Campbell and Alice (Adams) Campbell.
Cherished father to Keith (Esther) Campbell,
Frances (Rick), Lucy Campbell, Ernest (Mary) Campbell, Norman (Mary)
Campbell, James (Inez) Campbell, Ruby Campbell, Rev. Rachel Campbell
(Jeremy MacWilliams).
Wilfred loved all his children and grandchildren
greatly. He was the proud grandfather of 16 grandchildren
plus he was thrilled to have a new grandchild on the way this
July. His family lineage continues to grow with the blessing
of great grandchildren. Wilfred had 12 great grandchildren and is
survived by his sister Ruby (Leigh)
Clarke.
His love of farming, horses, harness racing,
chev’s, the Conservative Party, and family were very much a
theme throughout his life. Wilfred enjoyed family visiting
each summer and took great pride in where he was from. Wilfred
instilled a wonderful work ethic in his children, grandchildren, and
great grandchildren. Many will remember Wilfred as a good
neighbour who would help anytime anyone needed it.
A special thank you to the staff of Maplewood
Manor in Alberton where Wilfred resided for the last few years of his
life. Their care and support of Wilfred, Bessie and the
family is greatly appreciated. Also, deep appreciation and
thanks to Rev. Ches Boutilier (Victoria West United Church) for his
faith filled guidance in this difficult time and the professionalism
and care of the Ferguson Funeral Home.

pm. Funeral to be held at the
Victoria West United Church on Wednesday, May
16th
