HUGH'S OBITUARY
U.S. Veteran Waitsfield, VT

Hugh David Campbell, age 89, of Northfield and formerly of Waitsfield, died peacefully on October 1, 2019, surrounded by his wife and family. Hugh was born on February 20, 1930 in Providence, RI, the son of Wallace (Galena, IL) and Mary Bushnell Hazard Campbell (Peace Dale, RI). He was the loving and much-loved husband of Eleonore “Lorli” Trapp Campbell, with whom he shared 65 years of marriage. Hugh was graduated from Milton Academy, Yale University and Middlebury College (MA). Hugh’s work as an educator (French, college placement, coaching soccer) took them to Canterbury School in New Milford, CT, The Roxbury Latin School in West Roxbury, MA, and Rocky Hill School in East Greenwich, RI, where he served as Headmaster. In 1975, they moved to Waitsfield, VT, where he worked as a financial planner with IDS/American Express now Ameriprise. Growing up in Providence and South County, Hugh loved swimming at Narragansett and fishing in Narrow River with his dad. Hugh enjoyed fly fishing in Vermont, Colorado, and Utah’s Green River. He loved spending time with his 18 grandchildren, working in his woodshop and in the garden, and the challenge of watercolor painting. He found Vermont’s beauty everywhere and in every season. The fishing and painting came together when he wrote and illustrated a children’s book on the life of a trout. He cherished his friendship with God and was an active church member and community leader. Hugh was a devoted father to his seven daughters- Elizabeth (Howard Saxner) Peters of Cambridge, MA; Peggy C. Sanders of Charlotte, NC; Jeanie (Willam Lero) Lero of Hollis, NH; Polly (William Moore) Moore of Waitsfield, VT; Erika (Kevin Copeland) Copeland of Hayden, CO; Hope (Mark McAndrew) McAndrew of East Hardwick, VT; and Martina C.

She is also survived by her beloved brother Hugh Campbell and his wife Lorli, of Stowe, Vermont, and by 13 nieces and nephews. Jane Smith believed in the value of each individual's worth and demonstrated a lifelong commitment to helping special-needs individuals become contributing members of society. She was one of the founding parents of what is now known as The Arc of South Norfolk, where she worked for more than 30 years. Beginning as a parent-volunteer, Jane became Associate Executive Director of The Arc, developing community based vocational, residential, respite and social service programs. Among her significant accomplishments was inspiring Polaroid Corp. to sell 7.5 acres of land in Westwood, valued at over $1 million, for $1 .00 to build "A Place of Our Own," which houses the myriad programs provided by The Arc. Currently The Arc of South Norfolk serves more than 500 families with various programs, envisioned by the founders as a human and civil rights movement. At the time of her retirement in 1997, Ms. Smith's career was recognized in numerous citations from legislators across the Commonwealth and Rl, as well as by her peers who in her honor dedicated the Jane Campbell Smith Community Room at the building she helped fund and build. Jane graduated from Pine Manor Junior College and earned her B.A. cum laude from Brown University (Pembroke College) in 1946. In 1947, she married Barton P. Smith, who was an internist with Dedham Medical Associates for most of his career. Jane obtained a Masters of Science in Management from Lesley University in 1984 and began consulting with the Executive Service Corps where she advised non-profit organizations on a variety of projects. The Smiths were lifelong members of The First Parish of Westwood Church where they were members of the choir and active participants on a number of boards. Jane loved spending time in South County, Rl, where she maintained a second home and participated in many activities: gardening, swimming, visiting with relatives and friends and playing tennis, among them. She was a longtime member of The Dedham Country and Polo Club, the Fox Hill Garden Club, the Chilton Club, and the Afternoon Club. In Rl, she was a lifelong member of The Dunes Club in Narragansett, was active in the South County Garden Club and spent many volunteer hours at the Hazard Memorial Garden in Peace Dale.
