IN MEMORY: Julia Campbell

As many of you have probably already heard, this month was a tough one for Peace Corps Philippines with the unexpected death of fellow volunteer, Julia Campbell. She went missing Easter Sunday and her body was found a week later. Julia arrived in the Philippines a year before us and would have closed her service and returned home in June.

The following is an excerpt from the program at Julia's memorial service.

When Julia entered a room she filled it with her love for life which infected all people. Julia's curiosity gave her the ability to live each day to the fullest, never leaving a rock unturned or a question unasked. Julia's compassion for others led her to join the Peace Corps. Her love has changed many lives, both in the Philippines and in the Peace Corps community.

Julia, you were: a friend, sister, mentor, teacher, leader, a great cook and a catalyst. You were courageous, adventurous, spicy, caring, dedicated, sharp, quick, curious, strong, ambitious, confident, intelligent, independent, stylish, compassionate, giving, zesty, spunky, humble, driven, radiant, and we will miss you deeply.

Love,
Your Peace Corps Family.
