Judith Carolyn Campbell Sealand died in Ozark, MO on April 10, 2021after a lengthy illness. She was born in October, 1939 in Birmingham, Alabama to William Bruce Campbell and Martha Ruth (Marcrum) Campbell.

‘Judy’ graduated from Deer Park High School, Deer Park, Texas, in 1958. She graduated from the University of Texas Dental Branch School of Dental Hygiene, Houston, Texas.

She married Edmond Marshall Sealand on November 30, 1963 in Beaumont, Texas, where her daughter, Debra Kaye Sealand was born in 1965.

Judy had been a charter member of the Sabine District Dental Hygiene Society and worked with Dr. White in Beaumont for over ten years.

After moving to Tyler, Texas in 1971, she worked at the Tyler Junior College Dental Hygiene School as a clinical instructor.

In 1987, Grace Community Church, where she and her family worshipped, invited her to do the initial set-up of a day care at the church and school. She served as its director until 1997 at which time she went to work for Southwest Human Development Services as Program Director for Region 4.

Of all her activities and positions she was most blessed to be Ed’s wife, Kaye’s mom, April and Katie’s “Mimmie”, and “Mimmie Judy” to April’s five children.

Judy’s greatest ministry outside of her home was the opportunities she found to

share her love for Jesus with anyone she could whether through letters, phone calls, or personal visits. She always lived as if ‘the opportunities are there if we will be open to them’.
