GRANGER - Delores M. "Dee" Campbell, 77, of Cleveland Road, Granger, passed away following an illness on Monday, Jan. 14, 2008, in Memorial Hospital, South Bend. She was born Sept. 4, 1930, in South Bend, to George and Bessie (Morris) Krovitch, who preceded her in death.

On November 9, 1957, in South Bend, she married Tommie Campbell, who survives with five children, Thomas (Kelly Harrington) Campbell, Joanna (Jay) Winter, Pamela (Jerry) Piatt, Margaret (Bob) Edgerton and Kevin Campbell. Also surviving are her grandchildren, Jeanna, Dylan, Patrick, Kevin, April, Kayla, Neal, Cullen, Conor and Dorre; and three step-grandchildren, Elizabeth, Kenny and Rachel. Mrs. Campbell is also survived by a very special niece, Connie Gage. She was preceded in death, along with her parents, by a brother, George Krovitch Jr., and by a grandson, Bobby Simon.

Dee retired in 2005 after several years as a teacher's aide at Swanson Elementary School in South Bend. She was a member of the Auxiliary of the Avalon Grotto. She was devoted to her husband, Tom, and they spent many wonderful summers at their cabin in Manitoba, Canada, and at Deer Lake where they enjoyed fishing with their grandchildren. She enjoyed all the great outdoors had to offer, especially the swans in the St. Joseph River. She loved her grandchildren, camping and her cats.
