Katherine "Kay" Kerr Campbell

Kay grew up in Grosse Pointe, Michigan and later moved to Chattanooga where she graduated from The University of Tennessee in 1964. Later that year she wed David F. Campbell and they lived briefly in Royal Oaks, Michigan. In 1966 they moved to Atlanta due to David’s architecture career, and she began her lifelong career as an educator. Her first teaching position was at The Westminster Schools, where she eventually returned to during retirement to substitute teach. During her career, she also taught at Georgia State University, Gupton Jones College, St. Anne’s Episcopal School, and The Trinity School. Several Atlanta area generations knew “Mrs. Campbell” as being a passionate, dedicated, and humorous teacher. However, her teaching extended beyond the school systems. Kay was also deeply involved with Faith At Work for over 30 years and led several of their Southeast conferences.

Mrs. Campbell is survived by her daughter, Katherine Campbell; son, Stewart Campbell; granddaughter, Samantha Campbell; brothers, Stewart Kerr, Jr. (Marcy), Bruce Kerr (Pamela); niece, Caroline Kerr; and nephew, Stewart Kerr, III. A memorial service will be at a later date at St. Simons Island, GA.
