Betty Ann Campbell of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma was born to William Sloan (Bunk) and Linda Beatrice (Hays) Winters on

cross from Israel on April 25, 2023 in Young Harris, Georgia, while living with family on Lake Chatuge, at the age of 87
years.
Betty spent the first eight years of her life near Lovington, New Mexico before the family settled in Wynnewood,
Oklahoma. She met the love of her life, Walter Lee Campbell, in September, 1950 and they married in Gainesville, Texas
the same night they graduated high school in 1953. Together they made their home in Van Nuys, California, where Walt
worked as a Hollywood studio projectionist for five years before returning to Wynnewood and both worked at the
family-owned Deal, Sun and Corral movie theaters. They later owned and operated W.A.’s Egg Farm, part-ownership in
Riverside Auto Salvage, the Wynnewood Flower Pot, Savage Video and Renavair and Hangar One vintage aviation parts
surplus, traveling to airshows in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and Sun-n-Fun in Florida. Betty and Walter had a special
everlasting love and were married for 62 years before Walt’s passing February 24, 2016. Betty most enjoyed holidays,
family gatherings and vacation Bible school at First Baptist Church, Wynnewood, where she utilized her imagination and
talents. Later, while living in Norman, she enjoyed her many friends at Faith Point Baptist church.
