Obituary of Leah Muenzler Campbell

Leah Muenzler Campbell, 51, of Dallas, Texas; beloved mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend passed from this earth peacefully on October 24, 2020, after a courageous battle with Colon Cancer. With her strong faith and love of the beach; specifically, South Padre Island where she spent summers both as a child and later with her family, there is little doubt where Leah will spend time - enjoying those sunny shores. Leah was born in 1969, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She grew up in Edmond, Oklahoma and graduated from Edmond Memorial High School in 1988. Leah then attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas where she received a bachelor’s degree in Sociology in 1992. She later attended Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, TX, receiving a master’s degree in Social Work. Leah also took and passed the licensure exam to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). With Leah’s natural caring nature, it’s not surprising that every job in her career was focused on helping people. She started out as a Caseworker with Children’s Protective Services in Houston, Texas. She later moved to Dallas and worked for Hope Cottage Pregnancy and Adoption Center where she performed both pre- and post-adoption services. Most recently, Leah worked both for AssuraSource, providing behavioral health counseling services to home-bound adults, and as an independent counselor to children in foster care. Leah was beloved by all of her clients and will be missed greatly. The job Leah loved most, however, was being a mother. Leah is survived by the loves of her life, her sons Cayden and Gavin Campbell. She is also survived by her mother, Georgia Muenzler of Tulsa, Oklahoma, sisters Julie Muenzler of Dallas, Texas; Paige Simpsen of Richardson, Texas; Father of her sons and great friend Paul Campbell of Dallas, Texas; Niece Holly Simpsen, Nephew John Simpsen, and many, many other friends and family members. She was preceded in death by her father William Stanley Muenzler. An outdoor Celebration of Life service and reception will be held on Thursday, November 5th at 3:00pm.

Over the course of her Cancer journey, she learned a lot and she truly believed that the only way to eradicate this horrible disease is greater funding for research.
