Sarah Adeline Campbell
Funeral services for Adeline Campbell, age 92 of Bedford, who died Thursday, October 25, 2007 at the Bedford Nursing & Rehab Center were held Monday, October 29, 2007 at 11:00 a.m. at the Ritchie Funeral Home in Bedford. Burial was held in the Hopkins Cemetery in Hopkins, Missouri. Memorials can be given in Adeline’s name.
Sarah Adeline (Morehouse) Campbell was born January 2, 1915 on a farm west of Hopkins, Missouri the daughter of Timothy Grant Morehouse and Laura (Taylor) Morehouse. She had four older brothers, Robert, Dewey, Floyd and Charlie. When Adeline was three years old, her Dad was thrown from a horse and killed. Laura raised the boys and Adeline on the farm by herself. On May 11, 1933, Adeline was united in marriage to Hugh B. Campbell in Hopkins. Three children were born to bless their marriage, George, Helen and Albert. Later Hugh and Adeline divorced and she moved back to the home farm with her mother and raised her children. She also took jobs caring for others and as a maid at the Garland Hotel. Adeline received her nursing license and started working in Lenox, later purchasing a home in Sharpsburg. She also worked in Corning at the nursing home, while continuing to care for other people in their homes, one of which was Lester McKay, whom she later married. This marriage only lasted a couple of years, and then she sold her home and moved to Bedford where she lived for the rest of her life. At the age of 70, Adeline retired and took care of her brother Charlie until he died. In 2005, she moved to the Bedford Nursing & Rehab Center where she lived at the time of her death.
Adeline was a wonderful homemaker and life-long area resident. She enjoyed tending a large garden and canning all of the produce to share with her neighbors and friends. She always had a ‘green thumb’ raising many plants and flowers, even keeping the basement full of bulbs during the winter months. She enjoyed caring for her brother Charlie when he lived on the farm west of Bedford. Being adventurous, she and Charlie were known to ‘take off in the car’, traveling to places unknown, leaving their family wondering where they had taken off to! In the 1960’s, Adeline went to Palm Springs, California to see her daughter Helen. Since she was visiting Helen for several months, she worked at the Desert Nursing Home. While visiting California, her biggest thrill was going to Hollywood to the Walk of Fame and seeing the handprints in the sidewalk. However, Adeline felt she couldn’t stay in California to live as there was no snow, rain, or mud . . . only sand! Helen tried several times to get her mother to move out to California, and since she would never consider doing that, Helen finally moved to Bedford. Adeline had been a member of the former Good Hope Church and later transferred her membership to the Christian Church in Hopkins.
Left to cherish Adeline’s memory are her three children, George Campbell and wife Thelma of Maryville, Missouri; Helen Smith Bradley and husband Ron of Bedford; and Albert Campbell and wife Dorothy of Des Moines, Iowa; six grandchildren, Ed, Sheri, Faron, Shirley, Bruce and Lee; nine great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; along with many other family relatives and friends.
Preceding Adeline in death were her parents Timothy and Laura Morehouse; her first husband, Hugh Campbell; and all four brothers, Floyd, Dewey, Charlie and Robert.
Adeline was dearly loved and will be missed by all of her family and friends.
