She was residing at the River Oaks Health Campus in Princeton. She was born August 28, 1933 in Evansville to Norman and Thelma (Grimmwood) Besing.

As much as she loved to travel, her favorite pastime was attending her grandchildren’s sporting events throughout the years.  If they were playing, she was in the stands or sitting on the sideline wearing the school’s colors, with the team’s name and grandchild’s number proudly displayed.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Jim Campbell; daughters, Theresa Campbell and Lisa Maikranz; brothers, Donald and Jerry Besing; and sister, Norma Wallace.

Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Vicky Campbell; son-in-law Brian Maikranz; grandsons, Bryson Maikranz (Rachel) and Braydon Maikranz (Devin); granddaughter, Brenna Maikranz; great granddaughter, Braylee; great grandson, Everett; brothers, Larry Besing and Jimmy Besing  (Beverly); and many nieces and nephews and cousins.
