Carolyn Marie Campbell

Carolyn Marie Campbell, 81, died peacefully at home surrounded by her family on November 29, 2014.
Carolyn was born in Red Hook, NY on August 30, 1934, to Jack and Evelyn (Stall) Hefferman. Her father died when she was only six months old leaving her mother to raise two young children.

Carolyn graduated in 1952 from Red Hook Regional High School where in her yearbook she was known for her smile. She went on to earn a certificate in Infant and Childcare from St. Catherine's Infant Home in Albany, NY.

She worked as a child nurse before marrying her husband of 59 years Andrew Cowen Campbell of Craryville, NY.

Carolyn's life was dedicated to her family and raising her three children, Kathy, Debbie and Andy John. They lived in Castleton, NY before moving to Windsor CT and then for the last 25 years resided in Agawam, MA. Carolyn enjoyed visiting with her family, tending her beautiful flower gardens, shopping, taking walks and reading a good book. She belonged to Fitness First in Agawam for many years, was a regular visitor to the Agawam Public Library and was a parishioner at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Carolyn was the happiest when the sun was shining. She loved summer when her flowers were in bloom and she could sit outside and read a book.

Carolyn is survived by her beloved husband Andy, her children; Kathryn (James Crowley) Campbell of Oakton, VA; Deborah (Bruce Collamore) Campbell of Newbury, NH and Andrew John (Sandra) Campbell of Cromwell, CT. She also leaves three grandchildren Julia Crowley, Kyle Crowley and Erica Campbell, her sister Margie (Jerry) Griffin or Rhinebeck, NY and many nieces and nephews.
