Glenda Ann Campbell

It is with sadness, but tremendous appreciation of a life well lived, that we announce the passing of Glenda Ann Campbell (nee Armit). Glenda passed away on Thursday, August 19th, 2021, at the age of 79, in the presence of family at the Dr. Gendreau Personal Care Home in Ste. Rose du Lac. Glenda had only recently taken up residence there, as she was able to live independently with her dog and companion, Angel in her home in Alonsa, Manitoba, where she lived much of her life. She was able to accomplish this with the help of her daughter, Karla, as well as a great team of community health care professionals.

Glenda was born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba Oct 17th, 1941, to parents Robert and Christina (nee Sellman), and had three siblings, Janice, Wayne, and Beatrice. She lived much of her life in the Alonsa/Kinosota area, and married her husband, Glen. Together they had two children, Karla, and Jody. As a family, the Campbells spent much of their lives living between Red Cliff, Alberta and Alonsa, Manitoba. Glenda supported her husband Glen, as he was a hard-working man with many talents, and was able to find work in many areas around the country. They spent a lot of time living an extremely adventurous life, moving to new places for work, and spent time in Kitimat, BC. Glenda herself was an extremely talented artist: her many mediums included quilting, crocheting, sewing, beading, and painting. She created custom crocheted Indigenous traditional dolls as well as bed sets and Christmas ornaments. Glenda also had many friends and extended family that she spent much of her time with, camping at Margaret Bruce Beach or at Horse Bluff in Kinosota. She sang with her husband and other family, and really loved to just sit and visit and be around others.

She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunty to many, cousin, and good friend. She is survived by her children Jody and his wife Yvonne and Karla Campbell and her partner Darcy, her grandsons Josh and Ben Swain, her sisters Janice and Beatrice, her brother Wayne, countless nieces and nephews, and her loving pup, Angel.

A celebration of Glenda’s life will be held sometime in the summer of 2022, when a gathering of family and friends can be more easily accommodated, and those wishing to attend will be able to do so and will be notified via social media and other means.
