After a happy childhood in Lindale, she met the love of her life, Preston Campbell, and made Mineola her home. Tommie and Preston worked side by side in several businesses, most of the years at Campbell’s Dairy Way. Through that outlet, she made many friends with her kindness and generous spirit. She was a devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a wonderful seamstress, cook and pie maker second to none. Her greatest joy was providing a good meal for her family and others.
