Eloise Jones Campbell, 100 years old, of Millington TN went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, January 14, 2021. Eloise was born on November 20, 1920 to Grover Cleveland Jones and Emma Morellie Wilkes Jones in Franklin TN. She was the last surviving of the 5 siblings. Due to difficult times during the depression the Jones' children were placed in a Nashville orphanage where they remained until their late teenage years. Upon leaving Nashville, Eloise moved to FL where she worked in the photo lab at the Pensacola Naval Base during WWII. She married her former husband Ernest Ray Campbell and they were blessed with 5 children. The military took them to numerous places in the United States and abroad.
Eloise is survived by her son, Douglas Ray Campbell (Terri) of Byhalia MS and her daughter Joanne Campbell Dewis of Pensacola FL,
11 grandchildren, 28 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild.
She was preceded in death by her sons Gene Campbell of Munford TN and Robert Campbell of Millington TN, her daughter Betty Jo Campbell Bowers of Memphis TN and her infant granddaughter Drena Lynette Bowers.
Eloise was a member of Millington Church of Christ. She attended there from 1963 until age and medical conditions kept her homebound. She read and studied the Bible daily and taught her children to love the Lord.
The family of Eloise Campbell would like to extend our special thanks to Linda, Betsy, Erica, Lisa, Dorothy and others of Crossroads Hospice of Memphis for their loving kindness and compassionate care shown to mother during the past 2 years.
And to Rainbow Rehab of Bartlett TN where Eloise was a resident since 2012. Special thanks to Al who planned and coordinated the recent 100th Birthday "Drive By" celebration, and to all who helped in our mother's care.
The Lord blessed our mother with 100 years of life on this earth and we will cherish those memories until we, as believers in Jesus Christ, see her again.
The family has requested, for those who wish, that remembrances be made in the form of contributions to:
Crosspointe Baptist Church 8850 U.S. 51 Millington TN 38053
