WALTER: CAMPBELL, Walter May 3, 1930 – February 1, 2026 The family of Walter Morton Campbell, of Cochrane, AB, announces his peaceful passing on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at the age of 95. Formerly residing in Waseca, SK, he farmed there for over 50 years. Walter was born in Tessier, SK, to Merrill and Ruth Campbell on May 3, 1930. He was the oldest of five boys. He attended school in Tessier and graduated from Grade 12 there. He worked on his uncle’s farm near Tessier. He met and married Joyce Hinde, a teacher in the district, in 1955. They had three children, Sharon, Ross, and Barbara. In 1961, the family relocated to Waseca, SK, Joyce’s hometown. There, they farmed and raised a family until moving to Lloydminster, AB, in 2015. He was an active member of the community, volunteering for the Hall Board, the Wheat Pool, and the Credit Union. He was an avid curler and golfer in his “spare” time.

He was predeceased by his wife, Joyce; his brothers, Neil, Richard, Robert (Joan), and Donald (Linda); brother-in-law, Lanny; his parents, Merrill and Ruth; his nieces, Susan and Sabrina; and his sons-in-law, Steve Kulbida and Lorne Garner.
