CAMPBELL -- Ruth Creighton Campbell died peacefully on June 4, 2009 at the Presbyterian Hospice in Albuquerque, New Mexico surrounded by her children, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. She was born 95 years ago on May 22, 1914 in Bakersfield, California and spent her childhood in China with her missionary parents and her four siblings. She began drawing at the age of two and never stopped. She attended Shanghai American School for a year; came home to the US at age 14; finished high school in Wooster, Ohio (1930); graduated from the College of Wooster with a BA in History (1934); and earned an art degree in illustration at the Cleveland Institute of Art (1938).

Returning to New York, she married Charles Campbell in 1940, and raised three children in Monmouth Hills, New Jersey. While her children were small she did art as a volunteer for non-profit organizations. Her work impressed a neighbor who hired her as art director in his new ad agency. For 35 years she produced memorable and award-winning print ads, catalogues and mailers for many businesses. Since the 1950's she continued to study painting and showed and sold her work. She opened and managed a fine art gallery in Red Bank, New Jersey with a few colleagues. Advertising remained her major endeavor, her primary source of income, and her passion. In 1996 she retired to Albuquerque, continuing to make, sell and talk art. For the past seven years she lived at La Vida Llena retirement community. A Memorial Service will be held there on Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. She will be greatly missed by her three children, Nancy Kane of Chatham NY, Bill Campbell of River Falls WI, John Campbell of Tokyo, Japan, their spouses; six grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren; her dear friends Joanie and KC Orth and their children; and good friends at La Vida Llena.
