After Campbell married in 1954, she supported her husband, a coach and teacher, in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, while raising seven daughters. In 1975, the family moved to Waitsfield, Vermont. She taught her girls to cook, bake, garden, sew, knit, darn, and make butter and ice cream from scratch.
In addition to her two remaining siblings, survivors include seven daughters, 18 grandchildren and six great-grandsons. A service is scheduled for Nov. 6 in Waitsfield.
This story has been corrected to show that the children knew every word to the songs from “The Sound of Music,” not every word of the musical or movie.
This story was first published on Oct. 21, 2021. It was updated on Oct. 22, 2021 to correct that Eleonore “Lorli” von Trapp Campbell was a half-sibling to the children depicted in “The Sound of Music,” not a stepsibling.
