“Only an aunt can give hugs like a mother, keep secrets like a sister and share love like a friend.”
Our beloved sister, aunt, and friend, Virginia M. “Jenny” Campbell, passed away at the age of 83 years with her family by her side on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, following a brief illness.
Jenny was born to the late Marion Cicero, and Iva Lee Edney McKinney on September 12, 1939 in the Shell Creek community of Carter County, Tenn. Joining the workforce, she had a remarkable career at various companies including Raywall Corporation, Ford Motor Company, Piedmont Airlines, and retired from USAir.
