Nina Mae Campbell

Nina Mae (Allen) Campbell the daughter of Robert Allen and Thelma (Wilson) Allen was born August 8, 1929 in Hotchkiss, Colorado.  She attended public school in Hotchkiss, Colorado.  She was also a graduate of Beauty School in Salida, Colorado.   

She married her high school sweetheart Dale Eugene Campbell July 5^th 1950.  That marriage lasted 68 years until Dale’s death July 11, 2018.  They raised four children, Morris Campbell (Andrea), Dessa Hand (Bob), Jon Campbell (Nancy) and Don Campbell (Donna).  Nina cherished her nine grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and one great-great-grand daughter.

Family was a very important part of Nina’s life and keeping us all connected was her life long goal.  She studied and compliled our family history through geneology and told many stories of her parents, grandparents and great grandparents. A road trip with Nina always included these priceless stories. 

Nina was a beautician at Hilltop Rehab for fifteen years.  She sang with the Grand Junction Sweet Adelines and was fondly known as “Aunt Nina”. Nina and Dale spent summers fishing at Blue Mesa and winters in Chandler Arizona being entertained by her brother and his wife, Wilson and Judy. Nina loved her beautiful gardens and all sorts of crafts.   She was a very talented artist. Nina would run to the rescue if anyone was in need. She would fix you soup, kiss your booboos and talk you back to good health.  

Nina is preceded in death by her parents Robert and Thelma Allen, Sister Roberta Hoff and spouse Dale. Nina is survived by her children and brother Wilson Allen.
