    Mrs. Campbell was one of the best! She was so sweet and loving and cared for her students. Her soul lives on though in all the memories she made with her family and friends and many students. I always thought she was so stylish and beautiful! She was one of a kind and I have many memories of her during my time at Howell Valley. Prayers for the family during this difficult time.

    Prayers for both of you, Lauren and Christopher, and for all of her family! I knew Kathy through Delta Kappa Gamma Society International. She was a sparkling presence at any of the meetings she attended. I thought she was wonderful from the moment I met her. She will be missed!

    I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother. Kathy was such a lovely person, and a wonderful teacher! All my kids remember her fondly as a kind and affectionate teacher. The world will be a little sadder place without her delightful smile and free spirit.??

    As Kathy’s Delta Kappa Gamma sister, I remember always looking forward to our next meeting to see what flamboyant outfit Kathy would be wearing. What style and warm, forceful personality Kathy had. I remember her passion for CASA, from a program she presented at a meeting, an organization I eventually joined largely because of her example. We’ve missed her so much over the last several years. Rest in peace, Kathy.

    Lauren and Christopher, you mom was one of my all time favorite people. She lit up a room with her class and grace- she was beautiful inside and out. She made you feel better just being in her presence. For many years she was a mentor and an encourager for me and all of our students. We laughed-a lot (even when things weren’t easy) My life was blessed because she was a part of it. Sending love and hugs

    Lauren, Christopher, and family, you are in my prayers. Kathy was indeed a beautiful person and a wonderful teacher. I also met her through Delta Kappa Gamma Society International. She was a great asset to XI Chapter and always willing to serve. Kathy attended chapter meetings as long as her health was good. She will be missed by all who knew her.

    Chris and Lauren. We are so very sorry to hear about your mom. She was such a great inspiration to all. I had her in college. Not only was she a great teacher, but became a friend. Prayers for comfort and strength.

    Family of Kathy Lynn, I had the pleasure of attending HS with your mom. Not only was she beautiful but she was beautiful on the inside and also very smart. Our paths crossed occasionally after she and your dad married. I was lifelong neighbors with your dad and church also. Kathy was very kind to everyone. I also attended a Saturday Morning Class she taught at the college. Enjoyed it immensely. I will always remember the phone call from her on the day my son, LJ was killed. She offered to visit with LJs Dad and I, and said to call her day or night. I pray God will comfort you and give you peace of mind. She will be a beautiful Angel.

    Lauren, I am so sad to hear of the passing of your beautiful and amazing mother. I didn’t know her as well as I wish I could have, but I can say that the special spark of energy in Kathy never failed to delight me any time I was near her. I can’t think of many people I can say that about. Her smile and the timbre of her voice are warmly etched into my memory of her. Thinking of you my sweet friend.

    Kathy had the most beautiful and happy smile and outlook on life and all the people she ever touched. A big hole has been left in the hearts of her family I am sure. Prayers for you all .

    I can’t believe I just found out. I was going through a memory box I had and there was a note she had given me years ago. To sum it up, she said “I never believed in ‘good luck,’ because I really don’t believe much happens because of luck. Hard work and a caring heart, which you certainly have, will serve you much better than relying on luck.” This small reminder hangs proudly over my desk and it’s the first thing I see when I walk over and start my day. She was not only a light in a very dark place for me, but my influence to help kids in need. Her kindness, dedication, and love made me the person I am today. I’ve written essays about her and the impact she’s played towards my driving passions. This is a day I have dreaded for years because being at the funeral would have meant everything because she always showed up when I lost those closest to me. My heart is broken but I know if there was ever a person to make it to heaven, it was her – because in life, she was literally the driving force that kept me going (and I don’t say that for dramatics). I owe everything to this woman. Lauren, Christopher, I’m so sorry. If she wants colorful plants, then so it shall be. Rest in peace. I will never forget you. Howell Valley Panther, class of 08’.
