Patricia Jean Campbell
September 30, 1932 – January 11, 2024
Patricia Jean Campbell of Wainwright, AB (formerly of Luseland, SK) sadly passed away on January 11, 2024, due to complications of pneumonia. She was 91 years of age. Pat was predeceased by her husband Samuel Campbell, her parents Dorothy and Edmund Prynallt and her brother Leonard Prynallt.
Pat was born in Maymont, SK on September 30, 1932. She attended school there until she graduated in 1949. Pat began training to be a nurse at City hospital in Saskatoon, SK. She lived in-residence there and completed round-the-clock duties under the supervision of matrons. Patricia received her nursing diploma after three years of training.
Pat met Sam, her future husband, at City Hospital in 1951. He was a patient recovering from an oil field accident. They married in the fall of 1954 and lived in Saskatoon where Pat nursed at St. Paul's Hospital.
In 1956, Pat and Sam moved to Luseland, Sk and raised three children. Pat was a stay-at-home mom, but volunteered at many charities, clubs and functions. Pat worked in the booth on school track and field days, took turns supervising at the first swimming pool in Luseland, was a Brownie leader, and taught a babysitting course. She also belonged to the Kinettes. Often Pat cooked warm meals for the stray hockey players Sam brought home from practices. Pat enjoyed summer camping with the family and travelled over western Canada. The family have so many wonderful memories of those times.
When the children became older, Patricia chose to go back to nursing and took a refresher course in Biggar, SK. She nursed at both Dodsland and Kerrobert and Sam drove her to and from work.
After two tries, Pat earned her driver’s license (Sam wasn’t the best teacher) and went on to work at Kerrobert Hospital for many years. Pat loved working at Kerrobert and was a very caring and dedicated RN.
Patricia retired in her sixties and then enjoyed caring for her grandchildren and working in her garden and yard. At the age of 89, Pat had a stroke and after recovering, she moved to Points West Living in Wainwright. There she made wonderful friends and participated in numerous activities.
Patricia is mourned by her children, son Duncan (Pat), daughter Janice (Clay) Reade, and son Dean (Deanne); grandchildren Christine, Kelly, Kaitlin, Leah (Robert), Jeremy (Monique), Josh, and Rachel (Zach); great grandchildren Carys, Hollis, Royce, Kameron, and Hunter; sister Fern Hunter.
Patricia wishes to have a private ceremony. Those who would like to make donations in Patricia’s memory may make them to the Alzheimer Society or Telemiracle.
The family would like to thank the staff at Points West Living for their care and compassion for Patricia. We are so very grateful.
