Betty was born in Tuscaloosa and attended Tuscaloosa County Schools along with her high school sweetheart husband of 67 years, Coleman Campbell.

Mrs. Campbell was preceded in death by her mother & father, Herman Chester & Lucille Rhinehart Simmons and brother Donald W. Simmons; Son-in-law Steve Abercrombie;

Most influenced by her mother, Lucille, a mighty Saint & warrior for our Lord Jesus Christ, Betty Jane began an early career in her witness for our Savior. She served as pianist and vocalist for the Church of the Nazarene as well as other churches that needed piano accompaniment. During her children’s early years, she taught them vocal harmony which ultimately produced the southern gospel singing group, “The Campbell Family.” The family witnessed on local television, at gospel singings and nursing facilities, and even most recently during her illness, she sang and played the piano for the family at home.

Our mother is waiting, yes waiting at Heaven's golden shore for us to come home.
