Larry Franklin Campbell, age 80, of Pine Bluff, Arkansas passed away peacefully at home on May 17, 2024. Born on August 26, 1943 in Pumpkin Bend, Arkansas, to Floyd and Maggie Campbell, Larry was raised & educated in Woodruff County. He was a proud graduate of McCrory High School where he participated and excelled in multiple sports. After high school, he attended Ouachita Baptist University where he competed on the track & field team.
On September 19, 1970, Larry married his wife of 53 years, Donna Matthews Campbell. The two settled in McGehee, Arkansas where they started a family and where Larry began his 40-year career in the retail grocery business. He managed multiple stores throughout southeast Arkansas, finally retiring from County Market in Pine Bluff. He served in many different management positions throughout his career, but his favorite job was always working in the produce department. He gained profound enjoyment in planting a garden every year to produce fresh vegetables for friends & family members. Larry was also a self-proclaimed sports fanatic & loved rooting for the Arkansas Razorbacks & his beloved McCrory Jaguars. After retirement, he made it a priority to attend as many McCrory football & baseballs games as possible. He also enjoyed attending events where his children & grandchildren participated in baseball, football, softball, soccer, band, dance, and gymnastics.
Along with his wife Donna, Larry is also survived by his children; Melanie Edwards of Pine Bluff, Matt Campbell (Reannon) of Pine Bluff, and Monica Stewart (Mark) of White Hall.

Larry was a loving husband, father, papaw, brother, uncle, and friend. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Upon his request, the family will not be holding a funeral service. A private family memorial service/celebration of life will be scheduled at a future date.
