Heather Theresa Campbell

Heather Theresa (Fife) Campbell stepped into Eternity at 2:15 pm July 4th 2019. She was born to Reverend David Fife and Patricia (Madgett) Fife On January 16th 1974 in Norhthampton Massachusetts. Heather was the beloved wife of James Leroy Campbell III of New Bloomfield PA, the loving mother of Savanah Rain Klunder, along with her husband Jeff of New Bloomfield PA, and Anthony Scola of Gloucester MA, the doting grandmother, better known as "Nammy" of Adalyn Jade Klunder (age 4) and Waylon Reid Klunder (age 1). She's also survived by her parents David and Patricia Fife of West Melbourne FL, and two elder brothers, Stewart Fife and his wife Heather of Seabrook Island SC, Christopher Fife and his wife Michelle of Winslow ME. Heather grew up in Rockport Massachusetts where her father was the local minister of Pigeon Cove Evangelical. She attended Rockport High and was part of the class of 1992. As a student, she enjoyed hands on arts, especially pottery, and was active in the school choir and drama departments. Heather attended New Life for Women and Children in Manchester, New Hampshire between the years of 1998 and 2005. After graduating their recovery program she stayed on to become a valued member of the staff. She was a wonderful administrator and gave wise council to the women she encountered. She discovered a calling and a purpose in restoring lives and worked diligently in that ministry, befriending several women who went through the program as well. She traveled to supporting churches, often in other states to share her testimony and raise awareness and connect with partners to help support the ministry. During this time, when she had opportunity to do so, she enjoyed spending time with her father, hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Heather's life was changed one Sunday while on a testimonial trip to Central Pennsylvania. She met her future husband that day at Faith Christian Center in Newport. They had a very trying long distance courtship and Jim inevitably proposed in 2004. They had the privilege of being married by her father in the church she grew up in on an unusually warm day, November 19th of 2005. They left to start their own new life in Pennsylvania. She had been an active part of the worship team at the local church she attended in New Hampshire, that didn't change after she and her husband were married and she relocated to Pennsylvania. Heather and her husband were a part of the worship team at Faith Christian Center while they attended and were currently active in musical service at River of Life Community Church in New Bloomfield. Heather had a sweet voice and, through necessity, rekindled her skills as a pianist. She had aspirations of learning other instruments like guitar or violin. While attending New Life, she acquired her GED and enrolled in online courses at Southern New Hampshire University. After Moving to PA, she enrolled in courses at HACC where she eventually finished an AAS in Human Services. While attending classes at HACC, she became a student worker in the Adult Basic Education Center at the college; this lead to a full time position. She loved working with people and helping them achieve what she had done herself not so very long ago. Heather had attended classes at Albright College while working full time in an attempt to achieve her BA. She currently worked as the Administrative Assistant to the Vice President at Central Penn College in Enola and has done so since 2014. Its clear that throughout Heather's adult life she had a true servants heart in all she did; she left and indelible mark on many lives. Over the past several years, Heather had respiratory problems and was diagnosed with Asthma last year. She endured a lot of hardship working full time and maintaining a home while fighting with her condition. On July 1st, late in the night, Heather experienced a severe Asthma attack and lost consciousness and as a result fell into a cardiac arrest. Despite the best efforts of her husband and mother in law, along with all the great people of the New Bloomfield EMS and other First Responders and the CPR that was administered, Heather's heart ceased to beat on its own for over 30 minutes. The fine staff at West Shore Medical did all they could to improve her situation but Heather's was pronounced brain dead at 2:15 on July 4th, Independence Day, 2019. Heather's last act of service was donating to the Gift of Life Donor Program and she would be happy to know that even in her death she could help save another's life. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11 AM on Saturday, August 24, 2019 at The Family Life Center, West Short Cut Road, Newport. A visitation will be held two hours prior to the service. The family requests that memorial contributions, to help with funeral expenses, be sent to Boyer Family Funeral Homes and Cremation Services Inc., PO Box 11, New Bloomfield, Pa. 17068.
