Martha Chinn Campbell

She had an associate of Arts, Lewis & Clark Community College. Served her country proudly in the United States Army and received an honorable discharge. She entered the army for Physical Therapy training, but ended up a communications specialist. She has lived in Hillsdale Michigan, Jerseyville Illinois, Minneapolis Minnesota, Arlington Texas, and Fort Worth Texas.

She worked for American Airlines/Sabre Reservations systems in technical training and system installations. She did technical training and instructional manual preparation for EDS. She loved to travel, and worked for a travel agency in Minneapolis, where she got to do some wonderful travel. She was most recently working for G.P. Solutions /Lockheed Martin, where she joked with us and said “If I told you what I do, I’d have to kill you”. She had a career of training and writing technical training manuals.

She volunteered with WOVI, Women of Visionary Influence, in the Dallas Fort Worth area. They are an organization of women offering mentoring, education and leadership, with a vision of empowering women to make a difference in their lives, their communities, and the world. She was an active member for years, and was very proud to be among their membership.

She is survived by her brother, Charles and his wife Chris; sister, Anne Amos; nieces, Ali Campbell and Lauren Wagner; aunts, Mary Nesbitt, Margaret Coleman Chinn, and uncle, Ed Russel Chinn.

Martha was a woman who had little, but shared what she had. She was optimistic, happy and outgoing. She loved to help, as evidenced by her career and volunteering activities. She had a great sense of humor, somewhat dry, but quick to smile and laugh. She channeled some of the best of her mother, she liked to sew and knit. Her current knitting project was found right by the couch in her home.

Her time with us was way too short, and she is already truly missed.

Memorial Service will be held at 11 am, Friday, January 4, 2018 at Shannon Rufe Snow Funeral Chapel, 6001 Rufe Snow Drive, Fort Worth, Texas 76148.
