Hearldine Campbell began her journey on June 5, 2025, in Hoopa. She was born February 16, 1945, in Fall River Massachusetts to James E. and Ida Jean Campbell where her dad was stationed in the US Navy. She grew up in Hoopa, CA and spent her life in the Pacific Northwest from San Francisco, Ca to Port Angeles, Forks, and Hoh River Washington; where she worked as a CHR, and Fairbanks, Alaska. She moved back to Hoopa to be with her family and relatives devoting a lot of her later years doing in-home care for close family and others. Over the years she cared for our grandmother, mom, dad and sister with love and devotion.

She always said, “God, knows my heart” and always had a prayer for someone in need. She enjoyed gathering and preparing willow sticks and roots from along the river. She made a burden basket that she used for gathering. She liked wood carving and landscaping with rocks. Her ability to transform any space and decorate it was awe-inspiring.

She lived briefly on Alcatraz Island during the Occupation 1969-71, and years later, traveled to Wounded Knee S.D. during the American Indian Movement Memorial and stayed in the AIM house.

She had style and grace, always taking care of her appearance, clothes, jewelry, hair and car. Her last tattoo was the 111 on her chin. She never failed to say what was on her mind whether you wanted to hear or not. She was a straight talker right down to her last day. When it came to her family, friends and community she was loyal to the core. She was the mother of five boys. A True “Auntie.”

She is survived by her eldest brother Joe LeMieux and her youngest sister Gina. Her sons Frank L. Reece and Kim, and Craig E. Reece. Nieces Mary Jane Aubrey and Bruz, Lacheth Ida Jae and Clara. Her nephews Jim and Tracy Campbell, Kiai Lincoln. Her grandsons; Johnny and Nena Blake, Eric and Shay Blake, David, Timothy, Jonathan Blake, and Austin Blake.
