Donald Sterling (Don) Campbell – 79 of Douglas Georgia inherited his heavenly reward on Friday, February 23, 2024 in HCA Florida Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida after a brief illness. Don was born on July 4, 1944 to his adoptive parents the late Dean and Wanda Campbell in Fairbury, Nebraska. Don was a veteran having served during the Vietnam Era in the United States Air Force for 4 years at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in supply expediting. He began a lengthy retail career starting with JJ Newberry in the Britt’s Division and ultimately retiring from Belk Department Stores after 35 years of service. Prior to his retirement he served the Coffee County community as Store Manager for Belk for 12 years. Don had a deep love and devotion to God and wanted others to experience the same love that he had. As a result, he was very involved in Cursillos in Christianity, was trained as a healing prayer minister and a lay catechist to help others encounter Jesus. Don was a member of St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, Douglas, Georgia, where he served as Parish Administrator and Treasurer until his passing. In addition to his parents, Don was preceded in death by a daughter Constance Lee (Connie) Campbell.
