She was born March 23, 1926, in Jacksonville, Fla., and was raised in Maryland and California. During World War II, she married Sullivan Graham Campbell and they moved to Cazenovia, N.Y., where they both attended Syracuse University.
Campbell received a bachelor's degree in music and voice and a master’s degree in library science. She also obtained a pilot’s license at a time when it was unusual for women to do so. She traveled all over the world and had a lifelong love of music.
She accompanied her husband throughout his career with IBM and Xerox. In 1968, they moved to Ridgefield to begin Graphic Sciences, the first company to make fax machines. She held legendary Christmas parties and entertained many celebrities, scientists, generals, politicians, famous artists, writers and musicians, her family said.
