Margaret "Beth" Elizabeth Campbell

Margaret Elizabeth “Beth” Bridendall Campbell, 61, of Cleveland, departed this life on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 at her home.  She was born May 14, 1959 in Lake Charles, LA to the late Caroline Ford Bridendall and Philip Redmond Bridendall, Jr. 

Beth attended high school in Wilton, CT and earned her BS in Chemical Engineering at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.  She spent her career in the forest products industry with International Paper Company in Camden, AR and Resolute (Bowater) in Calhoun, TN.

After leaving Resolute, she was proud of her property and causality license and her work as an insurance agent for the Farmers Union Mutual Fire Insurance Company, where she enjoyed talking and visiting with all people.

Beth was a kind and gentle soul who was happy working in her garden, attending Broad Street United Methodist Church, sailing her boats, riding her motorcycle, working on restoration projects, baking, participating in Cub Scout and Boy Scout events, and making memories with her loving family.  Her stained glass windows have become treasured family heirlooms.  Finally, she was the proud mother of two Eagle Scouts and dedicated guardian of her many favorite dogs.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Caroline Bridendall Valentine who passed away last year.

Survivors include her beloved husband of 34 years, David Alexander Campbell; her loving sons, James Alexander Campbell and Phillip Winston Campbell; her dedicated siblings, Charles M. Valentine of Carmel, IN, John P. Bridendall and Toby B. Bridendall, both of Atlanta, GA, William H. Bridendall and Patricia H. Bridendall, both of Blacksburg, VA, and Sarah L. Bridendall of Carmel, IN; ten nieces and nephews; and seven great nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 20, 2020 in the chapel of Fike-Randolph & Son Funeral Home with the Reverend Micah Nicolaus officiating.  A visitation will be from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. on Saturday at the funeral home prior to the service.  Both the visitation and service will be limited to immediate family.
