Mary Wallace Campbell

Wow. Where did the time go? When I graduated from RHS I continued on to Gulf Coast and then University of West Florida in Panama City. UWF became FSU and I completed my BS in Accounting in Tallahassee in 1985. I migrated East to Jacksonville because (1) I liked the place and (2) my Aunt had a couch that I could sleep on while I looked for a job.

I met and married Mark Campbell in 1989. He was in the Coast Guard and we lived for a while in New Orleans before coming back to Jacksonville. We had a son, Ian, in 1996. Unfortunately our marriage didn’t survive and we divorced in 1999.

I currently work as Payroll and Benefits Accounting Supervisor for a company called Crowley Maritime Corporation. It’s a very challenging and demanding job that I usually enjoy very much. Except when I’ve got two or three audits running simultaneously. I’ve been here for about a year and a half. I was asked to come by a former Controller that I worked with for years. Crowley is the kind of company that people stay with. It’s the sort of place that, when you’ve worked here 10 years, you’re still new.

I have an amazingly awesome house in a Historic District near Downtown Jacksonville. My house was built in 1904. It’s mostly a Queen-Anne style. Three storeys. Wraparound porches up and down. Columns. Picket fence. Good-sized yard. Almost 4K square feet of heated space. Fabulous. I did most of the restoration on it myself right down to pulling wire and hanging sheetrock.

I stay pretty well busy all of the time. In addition to my career and being a Mom to my son – I volunteer with my church and with a local animal rescue organization.

At church I’m on something called Alter Guild. I’m their flower woman and make pretty flowers for the alter. Then after church I wash up the silver. I call it “Washing dishes for God.”

The animal rescue thing is called SACARC (Springfield Animal Care and Rescue Club). I’m one of the founding members and a member of the Board (Treasurer). I’m currently fostering four dogs for the group. That’s on top of the two dogs, six cats and one rabbit that are members of the family. SACARC rescues stray dogs and cats off the street and tries to get them healthy and find them good homes. Since its inception in March 2006 we’ve re-homed close to 200 animals.

So that’s pretty much me. I’m really looking forward to the reunion. See you there.
