Her smile lit up any room she entered. She married the love of her life, Milton Wayne “Soup” Campbell Sr. on June 21, 1957. June and Soup touched so many lives playing gospel music for churches all over the county. They sang for many gospel gatherings, weddings and many funerals for their friends and loved ones.
