Beverly Brough Campbell

Our beloved mother, grandmother and friend passed away on February 16th 2017. Born May 15, 1931, the daughter of Thomas James and Julia Slagowski Brough,Beverly was the youngest of 10 children. Her childhood was spent in Lyman, Wyoming; her young adulthood in Salt Lake City.

Beverly married Arwell Pierce Campbell on January 22, 1953 in the Salt Lake Temple. Preceded in death by her beloved husband and daughter Heather Ann, Beverly is survived by her two sons, Thomas Arwell (Shauri) of Houston, Texas and Marc Bradley Sr. residing in Nephi, Utah; six beloved grandchildren, Thomas Justin (Danielle), Robert Pierce (Kristen), Marc Bradley Jr., Matthew Craig (Aracely), Michael Alexander and Heather Caitlin; great grandchildren Wells, Harvey, Mila, Bronson and Pierce; a sister, Ursel Roundy and many nieces and nephews whom she adores.

Beverly and Pierce had a great enthusiasm for life and were true partners in all their endeavors. A l967 business move took them to the Washington, D.C. area, where they lived for the next 30 years. There, Pierce was involved in acquisitions/investments and Beverly began a distinguished career as a force behind many national and international, public and private, educational and philanthropic projects.

Her greatest joy, second only to Pierce, her children and home, were the twelve years she served as Director of the International Affairs office of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in D.C. and New York. During those years, she initiated and maintained warm working relationships with Congress, ambassadors, and world leaders in the nation's capital, at the U.N. and in capitals throughout Europe, Asia and Africa, where she traveled often.

Prior, she served eight years as Director of the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation, playing a defining role in the creation of the Special Olympics program and helping establish centers for bio-ethical studies at major universities. In the mid-50's, she and Pierce established Cambro, a marketing firm, Classique, a chain of finishing schools, the national Wendy Ward project and the Honors Cotillion programs.

Beverly attended Brigham Young University and has since served on many of its boards including the President's Advisory Board. She was a recipient of the prestigious BYU Presidential Medallion which in part recognized her work with organizations serving needs as diverse as child survival, breast cancer, drunk driving prevention, media and interfaith cooperation. She authored bestselling books, among them Eve and the Choice Made in Eden. A devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ, she served in numerous ward, stake and regional callings, including spokesperson on women's issues during the Equal Rights Amendment years.

She, along with Pierce, Tom and Marc established a foundation in her daughter Heather's name, which drilled wells, built dams and schools, provided text books and scholarships in Africa. They loved to travel; anything to do with oceans, opera, new sights, old friends, or their Church. They will be happy to be together again.

Funeral services are Thursday, February 23rd at Ensign LDS Stake Center, 135 A St, Salt Lake City, at 1:00 with viewing from 11:30 to 12:30.
