Katherine Campbell

Katherine Campbell was born March 23, 1942 to Hansel and Emma Mae Campbell in Decatur, MS. She departed this life at the age of 78 on Wednesday, November 11, 2020 at Amita Health St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, IL.

Katherine relocated to Joliet from Decatur in the mid 1960’s to be near her family.

She retired in the late 1990’s from Mark Shale Clothing Store in Joliet, and also at the Willowbrook, IL location.  Katherine worked as a professional tailor and clothes presser for over 15+ years.

Katherine had a sassy spirit and outspoken way about her.   She loved being around her family, making them laugh, and giving them her wisdom and advice when they needed it from her.

Katherine enjoyed many things throughout her life; such as fishing, cooking, and family cookouts. The most joy was spending time with her three grandchildren, Patrice, Keiara, and Tiara Ulmer, and they enjoyed spending time with her.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Hansel and Emma Mae Campbell; and her siblings, Vera Mae Johnson, Emma Jewel Orsborn, Willie Lee Campbell, and Mack J. Campbell.
