Betty Chloe Smith Mull Campbell

Betty Chloe Smith Mull Campbell 85, born in Davidson County, NC to Noah and Lessie Smith, met her Savior after a long battle with dementia. She passed on Tuesday night at Hospice House in Sherrills Ford surrounded by her loving family. Through her lifetime Betty demonstrated poise and pure grace when she was faced with the tragic loss of 2 spouses. Betty was a graduate of Appalachian State Teachers College which led her to become a teacher of the Deaf for more than 30 years. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother and she was so very proud of her family. Betty was of the Christian faith and had a servant’s heart most obvious in her many visits with shut-ins and participation in the tape ministry at her church for several years. She enjoyed watching her grandchildren and great grandchildren participate in sports of all kinds. For several years, she enjoyed singing in her church choir and working in the church kitchen. Her favorite pastime was baking and sharing her goodies with friends, neighbors, and those who were sick. She loved to work in her flowers, mow grass, and tidy up everything around her. Being in the presence of her family, attending church functions, eating ice cream, Krispy Kreme, and Little Debbie Oatmeal Cakes and sweet tea brought her life great joy.

Betty was preceded in death by Donald Mull, spouse; James Harney, grandson; and Bruce Campbell, spouse, siblings; Lorene Shoaf, Weldon Smith, Evelyn Sink, Gene Smith, and Jack Smith.
