Glenn Wayne Campbell's Obituary
Glenn W. Campbell, 86, of Tacoma, WA, died 20 Aug 2022. He was born in Tulsa, OK, to Winnie Bell Winkle and Pleasant Isaiah Campbell. He attended schools in Tulsa, graduating from Will Rogers High School and then attending the University of Oklahoma, where he played football. He loved Sports, especially football and baseball, and he was a lifelong Oklahoma Sooners fan.
After serving 8 years in the U.S. Air Force, Glenn settled in the Pacific Northwest, making Tacoma his home. He worked for Parker Drilling in Alaska, Boeing, and Atlas Foundry before working 25 years in the Pierce County Clerk's Office.
Glenn and Roberta married in 1968. Over the next fifty-plus years, they shared many adventures, including Volksmarching and researching family history. Together they traveled to Disneyland, Salt Lake City, Oklahoma, Montana, and Great Britain.
Glenn had a great sense of humor, and those who knew him will always remember his bright smile and the twinkle in his eyes. He was a proud member of Clan Campbell and enjoyed attending the Highland Games in Graham and Enumclaw, WA. Like a true Scotsman he loved a good game of golf.
He is preceded in death by a son, Michael C., daughter Bonnie L., brothers Hobart, Albert, Gleason, James, and sisters Elsie, Lois and Dorothy. He is survived by his wife, Roberta; daughter Dawna (Rodney) Moeller; son Robert (Vonne) Campbell; grandchildren Jennifer (Kyle) Rhea, Julia Eck, Ethan Moeller, Bobby (Ashley) Campbell, Emerald (Justin) Voorhees, Nathan (KC) Campbell and Autumn Campbell and many great-grandchildren.
