Obituary

Christie Hawes Campbell died Sunday, December 15 of lung failure, originally from a severe infection. Christie was born in Charleston, West Virginia, and graduated from Oberlin College in 1952. She married Clyde Parks Campbell in 1953; they first lived in El Paso during his Army service. They returned to Fort Worth where Christie helped her husband and father-in-law in the Clyde Campbell men's clothing stores until they were sold in 1969. Thereafter the couple returned to school to study art history, travel, and live abroad. Christie and Parks enjoyed raising dogs, learning Italian, and attending opera and theater in Fort Worth—and beyond; they were married for 57 years until Parks died in 2011. Christie had leadership roles and was active in the Tarrant County League of Women Voters for many years. Her friends will miss her company at Nonna Tata, Magnolia at the Modern, and Samson's Market Bistro. Survivors: sister Sarah H. (Sally) Cassidy of Washington DC; nieces Susan Cassidy of Boston MA, Carrie Goertz of Anchorage AK, Alice Meyre of Richmond VA; and cousin Katharine Ross of Malibu CA. A memorial is being planned for late February. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Oberlin College, 38 E. College Street, Oberlin OH 44074.
