James Delano Campbell, Sr.

April 8, 1935 — September 23, 2023

James "Jim" Delano Campbell, Sr., born on April 8, 1935, in Kanawha, West Virginia, peacefully passed away on September 23, 2023. He was the beloved son of the late Rance Campbell and Pansy Mae Metz Campbell.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife, Mozelle Campbell, his stepdaughter Claudette Leigh Poindexter, her husband Gary, and one cherished grandchild, Adam Poindexter.

He is survived by a devoted son, James "Jamie" D. Campbell, Jr. (Laurie), two loving daughters, Adele Bowman (Mark) and Sherri Bodenheimer (Vern), and a stepson, George Randall Hoffman (Cathy). Jim leaves behind a legacy of love, as he is also survived by seven cherished grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.

Jim dedicated his career to maintenance at Wake Forest University, where his hard work and commitment made a lasting impact. His sense of duty and responsibility extended beyond his workplace; he was a dedicated member of Union Grove Baptist Church, where he found strength and purpose in his faith.

A service to celebrate Jim's life will be held on Saturday, September 30, 2023, at 2 p.m. at Union Grove Baptist Church. The service will be officiated by Pastors Josh Evans and T.W. Bailey. Following the service, Jim will be laid to rest at Parklawn Memorial Gardens. Prior to the service, friends and family are invited to pay their respects during the visitation from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the church.

Jim's love for his church and his family knew no bounds. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering devotion to those he held dear will be forever remembered and cherished.
