Violet Marie (Ruley) Campbell

Violet Marie (Ruley) Campbell, 83, widow of Oscar Dean “Brownie” Campbell, of Churchville, went to her heavenly home on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
Mrs. Campbell was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia on May 9, 1942, a daughter of the late Cletis Rex Ruley, Sr. and Margaret Evelyn (Karr) Ruley Ingram. 
Violet was a devoted member of Jerusalem Chapel, where she actively participated in the Women’s Fellowship. She retired from Western State Hospital after many years of dedicated service. Violet found joy in simple pleasures such as attending yard sales, crocheting, and reading. Above all, she cherished time spent with her family—family was the most important part of her life, and she treasured every moment shared with them.
Violet was the last surviving member of her immediate family. 
In addition to her parents and husband of 63 years, Mrs. Campbell was preceded in death by a son, Ronald Dean “Ronnie” Campbell; a grandson, Wade G. Wilhoit; four brothers, Cletis Rex Ruley, Jr., Calvin Eugene Ruley, Roger Lee Ruley, and Richard Lee Ingram; and two sisters, Lorraine Adkins and Shirley McCray.
Surviving, are two daughters, Cindy M. Campbell of Churchville and Rita (Campbell) Wilhoit and her husband, Eddie of Swoope; a son, Charles O. “Charlie” Campbell of Churchville; six grandchildren, Tabitha McDorman and her husband, B.J., Justin Campbell and his wife, Ashley, Alli Dula and her husband, Day, Branson Wilhoit, Kristin Silverio and her husband, Ralpha, and Skylar Cupp; seven great-grandchildren; and a number of nieces and nephews.
There will be no public viewing. 
The family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 19, 2025 at Mrs. Campbell’s residence or following the service on Friday.
A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, June 20, 2025 at Oaklawn Memory Gardens by Pastor George Etling. 
It is suggested that those desiring make memorial contributions to the Jerusalem Chapel Building Fund, 314 Chapel Road, Churchville, VA 24421.
Coffman Funeral Home and Crematory, 230 Frontier Drive in Staunton is in charge of her arrangements.
