Wallace (Wally) Stewart Campbell

died October 7, 2020 at the

Whidbey Island home he shared

with his wife Sally.

father and grandfather. The final

weeks of Wally’s life were spent

at the place he loved the most

surrounded by his family and the

beauty of Honeymoon Bay. Wally is survived by his wife

Sally, three sons, Clark, John and Robert, their spouses and

six grandchildren.

Wally was born in Seattle August 26,1934. As a lifelong

Northwest resident, Wally attended Seattle Public Schools,

graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1952, and

earned a degree in civil engineering from Washington

State University. While at WSU, Wally became a member

of Phi Gamma Delta, and remained a lifelong supporter

of both WSU and the fraternity. Upon being called to

serve his country, Wally attended Officer Training School

in Newport, Rhode Island, and was deployed as an

officer in the Naval Construction Forces, known as the

Seabees. Following his military service, Wally enjoyed an

accomplished career with Peter Kiewit Corporation and

Stillwell Gerard Construction Co. Wally had a gift for

making the people around him laugh, feel valued, and

loved. He never lost contact with the many friends he

made throughout his life and believed strongly in giving

back to his community. He served on the board of the

Eastside YCMA, as an Elder and Deacon of the Mercer

Island Presbyterian Church and was a loyal supporter of

the Seattle Symphony, and Ryther. The Salish Sea and the

majestic mountains of the Pacific Northwest will forever

be his home.
