3922378349.jpg &&& GRANBURY — Alma Lee Campbell was an independent woman who ordered her personal and professional lives with equal precision and punctuality.Her home and car were always immaculate. Her accounts were perfectly balanced. She was always on time.But Ms. Campbell’s quiet, businesslike demeanor hid her heart from people, including the boss who considered her a second mother."She was not a person to do a lot of small talk. But if she liked you, she was a true friend," said Nelda Robertson, executive director of the Granbury Housing Authority.Ms. Campbell, who worked at the authority until 2004, died Wednesday. She was 88.She was raised with nine siblings on a Hood County farm. Her industrious, dependable habits were forged early and nurtured through a life of two marriages, two children and more than 30 years as a single woman, her relatives say."We all had jobs to do," said Thomasina "Tink" Harris, Ms. Campbell’s younger sister. "We weren’t allowed to be told to do it twice. We did that job or else."After graduating from Lipan High School, Ms. Campbell married her high school sweetheart, Olan Brock, said her sister Ann Scott. Brock was killed while working in a California aircraft factory, Scott said. After she met her second husband, Warren Renshaw, in Fort Worth, they returned to California. Renshaw worked as a baker while Ms. Campbell held a variety of jobs, said her daughter, Patricia Franklin."She was a very independent lady," Franklin said. "She sold men’s suits. She sold men’s shoes. But her last job was doing bookkeeping for the Rockwell Credit Union — the ones who sent the men to the moon." Rockwell worked on the space program.After returning to Granbury as a divorcee, Ms. Campbell took back her maiden name to run for Hood County assessor-collector in 1980, Scott said. Not long after Ms. Campbell retired as assessor-collector, she moved to the housing authority. Impressed with her skills and demeanor, Robertson offered her a job."She said, 'I’ve been praying for a job because I’m so used to working all my life, I’m bored,’ " Robertson said.Ms. Campbell processed applications and handled rent payments in a businesslike manner, she said.Other survivors include Warren Renshaw, sisters Cathryne Grimes and Margaret Compton, brothers Dalton and Johnny Campbell, six grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Services Visitation will be 5 to 7 p.m. today at Wiley Funeral Home. The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Monday at Wiley. Burial will be at Evergreen Cemetery in Lipan.
