Melva Joyce Campbell (Tucker) 81 years of Apsley passed away September 9th 2021 at Lakefield, Ontario.
Melva was the daughter of the late Melville and Ethel Tucker (Woods) of Apsley. She grew up and lived her entire life in the Apsley area. She raised a family with her husband Don Campbell on Clydesdale Road.
She was an independent, outgoing, confident, strong woman who spoke her mind, believed in the value of hard work and was not afraid to try her hand at any task. Melva knew and had many friends in and around Apsley. Melva enjoyed baking, cooking, quilting, gardening, travelling, experimenting with new recipes, and visiting friends. Melva was a great cook and an avid card player. She enjoyed the outdoors and one of her great pleasures was to swim in her pool.
Melva worked for many years at Spruce Corners as a personal support worker. Melva prided herself on providing excellent care and making clients feel like family. As mom’s health declined, she moved to Spruce Corners where she resided before moving to Lakefield Extendicare. Melva wants to thank the staff at Spruce Corners who assisted with her care as a resident.
Melva is predeceased by her husband Donald.
Melva is survived by her brother Glen Tucker and her children Donna Kayser (Bill deceased), Joni Wilson (Michael), Ron Campbell (Lori), Rod Campbell (Joy) and grandchildren Robyn, Ashley, Krista, Adrian, Brandon, Joshua, Danielle, Jameson and 5 great grandchildren all of which filled her with laughter and joy.
Melva will be missed by her family and many friends.
Her family would like to thank Extendicare Lakefield for their great care and dedicated staff. We would also like to recognize Nancy Ross, Director of Care for her genuine kindness and concern in helping mom feel as comfortable as possible throughout her stay at Extendicare.
Cremation has taken place and internment will be at Clydesdale United Church Cemetery. There will be no viewing or service because of the continuing pandemic concerns.
