Tammy Lynne Campbell, 64, passed away on Monday, November 9, 2026, at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She was born on August 18, 1962, in Galion, Ohio, to James “Jim” and Marilyn (Gledhill) Conkel.
Tammy married her husband, Scott Campbell, on March 18, 1989. Together, they devoted themselves to raising their daughters and creating a lifetime of cherished memories before Scott’s passing on September 15, 2016. Tammy remained devoted by his side, truly embodying her marriage vows of “in sickness and in health.”
Tammy’s greatest joy in life was her family, especially her beloved grandchildren, who affectionately called her “Ice Cream Grandma.” She loved nothing more than playing with them, attending their many activities and events, and making memories together. Tammy had a special way of expressing her love through thoughtful gifts and shopping trips. She cherished family dinners gathered around the table, holiday celebrations, and the family’s yearly Christmas traditions of playing board games and picking out ornaments.
When she wasn’t spending time with family, Tammy enjoyed tending to her yard and flower beds, watching the Game Show Network, and simply taking in the beauty of a snowfall. She loved the holidays and the joy they brought. Known for her personable nature and wonderful dry sense of humor, Tammy had a way of making those around her feel welcome. She was a woman of strong beliefs, remarkable resilience, and unwavering determination. A true fighter, Tammy faced life’s challenges with strength and continued to hold onto hope. Above all, she will be remembered for the love she gave so freely and the countless memories she created with those who meant the most to her.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Tammy’s dear friends, Emma Martin and Rose Workman, for their unwavering friendship, love, and compassionate care. Their kindness and support meant so much to Tammy and her family.
Left to cherish Tammy’s memory are her daughters, Melissa Campbell and Lynn (Mark) Brandt; her brother, Paul (Kandy) Conkel; her three grandchildren, Riley, Lincoln, and Mathis; and her mother, Marilyn Conkel.
In addition to her father, Jim, Tammy was preceded in death by her brother, Mark Conkel.
