Marion Theresa Campbell

October 27, 2020

Surrounded by her family, Marion Theresa Campbell (Cameron, Kennedy), of London, Ontario passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 27, 2020 at the age of 88. Marion was born to Archie and Mary Cameron on June 26, 1932 in Midland, Ontario. Her sense of adventure took her to Alberta, where she married and raised seven children. Eventually returning to Ontario, the Kennedy family settled in London where Marion continued to thrive as a wife, mother and career woman. She is predeceased by both parents, her stepmother Marg, her sister Imogene, her brother John, her son Martin and her daughter Melody. Marion will be forever loved and treasured by Jim Campbell, her husband of 25 years. Her surviving children: Michael Kennedy (Evelyn), Maureen Kennedy-Killeen (Phil), Mary Barrick (Ken), Michele Kennedy and Margot Kennedy will always cherish their beautiful Mom. Marion is lovingly remembered by her baby brother Rod Cameron (Colleen), of Strathmore, Alberta and her cousin Lyle (Dorothy), of St. Thomas, Ontario. She adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were the light of her life: Greg, Patrick, Sarah, Peter (Shannon), Michael, Erica, Laura, Christine; Avery, Branwyn, Ryan, Lauren and newborn Adelyn. Fondly remembered by her sister-in-law Judy and her husband Jim’s children, Jay (Donna), Lisa, and step-grandchildren Sydney and Max. Also fondly remembered by several nieces and nephews on the Cameron side. Marion was very proud of and deeply loved all of her family. She lived a full and healthy life, loved the sunshine and spent several winters in Florida. Marion loved to golf, play bridge, shop, read, drink wine, and eat good food, but her most favourite pastime was being with family and friends. Long-time special friends Barbara, Cheryl, Lou, Lee Anne & Jerry, Ellen & Murray, and Jan & Herbie brought great joy to her life. We are eternally grateful to the compassionate nurses, frontline staff and medical team on the 7th floor stroke unit at University Hospital. Their gentle and respectful care ensured that Marion’s dignity was preserved and her passing was peaceful. They are an amazing team.
