2/27/2008 - Longtime professor, church musician receives honor for service By Michael J. Brooks Marion Presbyterian Church honored Dr. Betty Campbell last month for her more than 20 years of service as choral director and pianist. The session of the church presented her a plaque and a resolution expressing "love and appreciation for her many years of faithful and devoted service to our congregation." The resolution further noted Campbell's directorship of "The Messiah" for more than 20 years. "The Messiah" has been called Marion Presbyterian's annual Christmas gift to the community of Marion. Campbell and her husband, Bracey, moved to Marion in 1976 to teach music and work with the Judson College choir. Dr. Bracey Campbell directed “The Judson Singers” until his death in 1989, and then Dr. Betty Campbell took the helm. “It’s been a great experience to work with so many young Judson women and to travel all over the world with them,” said Campbell. “We’ve enjoyed singing praise to God and encouraging other Christians along the way.” Campbell gave up directorship of “The Judson Singers” in 2000, but remains active teaching voice at the college and traveling with the choir whenever she can. Judson honored Campbell on her 80th birthday last August at the traditional Rose Sunday worship service inaugurating a new academic year. * Article courtesy of the Judson College Public Relations Department |
