Sarah Campos' Obituary

She married and had four children, Robert Joseph Jr. (deceased), LeeAnne, Lynn Jane, and Laura Beth.

Her eldest daughter became a professional singer, performing with the Lyric Opera of Chicago among others.

An entrepreneur at heart, she owned Oldengoods and Antiques in the late '70s, and later Cafe Boheme. A longtime resident of Tacoma, she worked for years in the medical field. She enjoyed spending time with her daughters and grandchildren, attending their many concerts. She loved to travel and took a memorable trip to England, France, Germany and Poland in 2001. Sarah is survived by her daughters, sons-in-law Michael Finger, Robert Johnson, and William Goggins, former husband Nelson Lopez, and granddaughters Miranda and Liliana Campos, and Anna Johnson. She was preceded in death by her parents Arthur and Vivian Yenk, sister and brother-in-law Rae and Chick Owens, former husband Robert Campos, son Robert Jr., and grandson James Robert Johnson.
