 Freda J. Campbell, 77
 August 13, 2015
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Freda Jean Campbell, 77, of Church Street, died peacefully in her sleep early in the morning on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2015.
Born in Elizabethton, Carter County, Tenn., on July 26, 1938, daughter of Fred Lamar and Hattie Lois Yates Campbell, she lived an uncommonly rich life that led her to St. Petersburg, Fla.; Manhattan, Glens Falls and Ithaca, N.Y.; Cape May, N.J.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Cincinnati; Pittsburgh; Wilmington, Del.; Seattle; Santa Barbara, Calif., and, more than 10 years ago, to Berkshire County, where she took enormous delight in people, art, music, books and nature.
Ms. Campbell was a tireless volunteer at the Milne Public Library and the Clark Art Institute.
She loved to travel, crisscrossing the United States by train many times, and adventuring by herself to Mexico, London and Paris. She touched countless lives with her gifts of ikebana flower arranging, drawing and painting, sewing and quilting, cooking and storytelling. She was an expert card player, and an almost unvanquished champion of Scrabble and Bananagrams.
She leaves two daughters, Cassandra Cleghorn and Angela Bolan, and their spouses; two sons, Paul Ondrejka and Nick Ondrejka, and their spouses; her older sister, Barbara Wouters; 10 grandchildren, Oliver, Ripley, Eve, Merrill, Zachary, Jasper, Vina, Lauren, Liam and Beau; and many other, beloved, extended family members.
FUNERAL NOTICE — An informal gathering to celebrate Ms. Campbell's life will be held at the Williamstown Elementary School gazebo on Friday, Aug. 21, from 4 to 6 p.m. Her ashes will be scattered in the Smoky Mountains, the Purple Valley and the Pacific Ocean.
Donations for a memorial fund to purchase flowering trees to be planted in her honor in Williamstown may be sent to Flynn & Dagnoli-Montagna Home for Funerals, West Chapels, 521 West Main St., North Adams, MA 01247.
| We are missing her immensely this morning at the library. Our thoughts are with her family. We will be closing the library so that all staff can attend her memorial. | | from: Juliana | on: 08-17-2015 |
