It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Genevieve Campbell of Kamloops, BC on January 16, 2016 at the age of 77 years. She is survived by her three loving sons, Joseph Campbell of Revelstoke, BC, grandchildren Stephanie Campbell and Cheyanne Mingo, great grandchild Emma Campbell, Christian Campbell of St. Albert, AB and Shawn Campbell of Vancouver, BC. She will also be dearly missed by her daughters-in-law Denise Maxwell and Jeannie Peeters.
Genevieve was born on March 23, 1938 and made British Columbia her home. Her volunteer work with seniors and the infirm of Kamloops has given her great joy. While in the service of others, Genevieve felt it important to involve her dog CC and trained her to be a respite animal. She believed her service to others, above all else, was her calling. She was a devout Roman Catholic and a Eucharistic Minister. Genevieve served the St. John Vianney Parish, sang in the choir and served her church family with loving devotion. Her voice could also be heard singing with the Kamloops Happy Choristers.
I alone cannot change the
world, but I can cast a stone
across the waters to create
many ripples.
(Mother Teresa of Calcutta)
Genevieve cast many ripples in her service to others. She loved and was loved.
