Vicki Lee (Garner) Campbell

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Vicki Garner Campbell, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Born on February 6, 1949 in Burlington, North Carolina, Vicki lived a life filled with love, embracing new experiences and cheering for all things Clemson University.

Vicki graduated from Rock Hill High School in 1967. On June 29, 1967 Vicki married Senator Paul Campbell, beginning a wonderful journey that led to three children, the late Christie Parks, formerly of Summerville, South Carolina, Jeremy (Shireen) Campbell of Davidson, North Carolina, and Caroline Campbell Burgreen (Alan) of Daniel Island, South Carolina. While caring for two toddlers, Vicki earned an Associate Arts Degree from Northeast Alabama Community College in Rainsville, Alabama. Vicki adored her 4 grandchildren Caitlyn (Charlie) Carson (Greenville, South Carolina), Lindsay (Matthew) Wilson (Inman, South Carolina), Jonathan Campbell (Mooresville, North Carolina), and Alistair Campbell (Davidson, North Carolina), and her great-granddaughter Saylor Wilson (Inman, South Carolina), who adored their Nana. Together they cherished every moment spent with her loved ones, whether it was tailgating at Clemson football games, traveling to Vegas and beating the slots or sharing simple everyday joys. With a passion for painting, decorating, and selective retail therapy, Vicki loved discovering new restaurants or sharing a glass of bubbly with friends and family. When she entered a room, it lit up. She sparkled, and we smiled.

In addition to her husband, children and grandchildren, Vicki is survived by her brother Karl Raymond Garner (Mindy) of Summerville and Patricia Garner Bennett of Summerville who will carry her memory in their hearts. Vicki was preceded in death by her parents William (Bill) Thomas Garner and Dora Greeson Garner, and by her brother Wayne Thomas Garner.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, October 18, 2024 at 12 o’clock noon at Vicki and Senator Campbell’s home church of Dorchester Presbyterian, 10290 Dorchester Rd., Summerville, SC 29458. The family will receive friends an hour before for a visitation.  In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in honor of Vicki to any organization or charity of your choice.

Rest in peace, dear Vicki. Your legacy of love and zest for life will live on in all who are blessed to know you.
