With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Jean Campbell, who left us quietly on January 17, 2025, at the age of 92. Jean was born on July 14, 1932, in Calais to Bertram and Florence "Flossie" (Walls) Johnson. Jean raised her children in Milltown, and during the summers, they found joy in the simple pleasures of life on Meddybemps Lake. During the last nine years, Jean found tranquility and peace living on Pleasant Lake.
Jean was a proud graduate of Calais Memorial High School, and she put her culinary skills to use as a cook at Calais Regional Hospital. Her zest for life was infectious, and she found joy in every step she took, especially when she was square dancing. Jean's life was a dance of love, laughter, and resilience, and her legacy is a melody that will continue to play in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who knew her.
Jean was predeceased by her parents, her husband Frank Campbell, son Terry Reynolds, granddaughter Jennifer Doten, great-grandson Trent James, her brothers Gerald, Fred "Ad", and Paul Johnson, and sister Marjorie McKeown. Her memory will be cherished by her five children, Stephen Reynolds and wife Laurie of Colorado, Florence "Boots" Johnson of Calais, Kathy Campbell and companion Jeff Spatcher of Alexander, Dana Reynolds and wife Patty of Meddybemps, and Robert Reynolds and wife Sherri of Calais; sixteen grandchildren, Shaina Matlock and husband Jonas, Chris Reynolds and wife Andrea, Chelsea Blancas and husband Isaac, Jamie Dorn and husband Nathan, Olivia Nelson, Reagan Berry, Troy Reynolds, Allen Landry and companion Jamie Smith, Jason Johnson and wife Elisha, Tanya Campbell and companion Lee Brinkley, Frank Campbell and companion Amy Day, Stacey James and husband Jerry, Julie Swindler and husband Dan, Jill Osmond, Ashley Reynolds and companion Matt St. Peter, and Emily Reynolds; 31 great-grandchildren; several great-great-grandchildren; her twin brother Jack Johnson; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
A graveside service will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, July 19, 2025, at the Woodland Cemetery in Baileyville. Arrangements are by Mays Funeral Home & Cremation Services.
