CAMPBELL, LOIS JEANNETTE (JANE) FULLER (1915 - 2011) Lois Jeannette (Jane) Fuller Campbell, 96, of Birmingham, died Dec. 21 after a brief illness. Born April 5, 1915 in Kilmichael, MS to Lois Cleone Hinson and Charles Wilbur Fuller, Jane and her brother, Charles Kelsey Fuller, grew up near the rural Mississippi towns of Parchman and Sumner. After completing her studies at Blue Mountain College, Jane married John Libby Campbell and they made their home in Webb, MS, where Jane became a homemaker and had two children, John Libby, Jr. and Lady Jane. When their children were in grade school, Jane took over a mid-year position at Webb-Swan Lake Elementary School as a fifth-grade teacher. After many years of service, she became the school\'s principal. In the late sixties, Jane\'s husband passed away. Jane completed her tenure as principal, retired, and continued her various avocations. She specialized in pottery, ceramics, weaving and gardening. She became well known for some of her creations, especially her ceramic magnolias which made their way into homes of prominent families in Mississippi and even the governor\'s mansion. After living in the Mississippi Delta all of her life, she moved to Birmingham, AL at the age of 79 to be near her daughter, Lady Jane. Jane continued her avocations and with the help of her son-in-law, tended a garden near her condominium and spent countless pleasurable hours watching her plants grow and mature. Jane Campbell lived a good, full life. Her survivors include her son and his wife Jane Walker Campbell and their son Anderson Sharkey Campbell of Tifton GA; her daughter and her husband George Yancey Gillespie III and their daughter, Jan Seghers Gillespie Pickard and her husband Robert Jackson Pickard III and their two children, Lillie Campbell Pickard and Jackson Williams Pickard, all of Birmingham. Jane also was much beloved by her two nieces, Carolyn Fuller Wilson of Idaho and Rachael Fuller Winter of Florida, to whom she was a second mother. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in memory of Jane Campbell be made to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens (2612 Lane Park Road, 35223). A private memorial service for family and close friends will be held at 10 am, Tuesday, December 27th at St. Francis Xavier Church.
