Mervin Leroy Campbell

Obituary

Passed on

November 2, 1939 – December 22, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Merv passed away peacefully at Goodwin Lodge, Teulon, Manitoba at the age of 85.

He is predeceased by his wife of 52 years; Lyle in 2013. He will be lovingly remembered by his children Todd (Crystal), Terri (Dale) and Brent (Joanne) along with his grandchildren Derek, Niki, Robyn, Devin, Kelsey and great grandchildren Jayce, Amy, Owen, Karsyn and Isaac.

He is survived by his sister Eileen Wonnick, sister-in-law Myrna (Ross) Malcolm, sister-in-law Eileen Campbell in addition to many nieces and nephews.

Merv was born and raised in Teulon, where he met Lyle. They were married on October 7, 1961. He was employed as a welder in his early years with Joy Manufacturing until they moved back to the farm where he was raised as a child. He continued to farm for many years to come. We will always remember Dad tinkering with something, fixing almost anything, and building or creating things he wanted. Growing up on the farm created so many wonderful memories for us that we will always cherish.

Dad loved getting together with friends when he could; fishing and camping. Every weekend it seemed he had someone at the farm visiting; the door was always open.

Cremation has taken place and a private family ceremony will take place in the spring.

The family would like to thank the staff of Goodwin Lodge for their care, kindness and love for Dad.

“Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was.”
