Enid Campbell's Obituary
Enid H. Campbell, PhD, died peacefully in her sleep at the University Medical Center Princeton, on November 22, 2015, due to complications from a fall. She was 88.
Enid was a psychologist with a private practice in Princeton for many years, and a longtime professor and department chair at Trenton State College (now TCNJ).
Nee Enid Margaret Hobart, Enid was born and raised in Canada following the emigration of her parents from England in the 1920s. Her father, John H. Hobart, was a pharmacist who also played semi-professional hockey, and her mother, Enid (nee Jones) was a primary school teacher who studied with Maria Montessori. Shortly after Enid's birth the family settled in Montreal where the family was part of the tight knit English community. The family was active in the Religious Society of Friends and amateur theater with an emphasis on Shakespeare. She left Canada to attend Swarthmore College in the United States, where she studied psychology and was active in the Quaker Meeting. She was briefly married to a fellow Quaker in support of his pacifist beliefs and resistance to the draft. Following her graduation in 1948, Enid attended Bryn Mawr and then Yale, earning a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.
At Yale, Enid met her future husband, Byron A. Campbell and the two were married in June of 1954. Byron became a professor in the Psychology Department at Princeton University and Enid chose to accompany him to Princeton. She quickly became a professor at Trenton State College where she taught child and general psychology. Her desire to improve people's lives led her to become a licensed psychotherapist and she cared for numerous patients in downtown Princeton. She worked at these two professions for most of her adult life.
With family and friends, she travelled widely in Europe and North America, and visited New Zealand and mainland China, and Alaska. To keep fit, Enid enjoyed swimming, recreational tennis, table tennis, and skiing. In her later years Enid suffered from dementia but she always enjoyed spending time with her family. Enid was a woman ahead of her times, deftly finding happiness and fulfillment in both her work and family life.
She is survived by Byron, her husband of 62 years. She is also survived by her son Ian of Whiterock, New Mexico, and her daughter Andrea Sacchetti of Princeton, along with Andrea's husband Raymond, and grandchildren Thomas Sacchetti, and Adam Frary, along with Adam's wife Becky, and also granddaughter Simone. In addition, she is survived by her brother John Hobart and his wife Joan, and her nieces (Ann and Elizabeth) and nephews (John, Ted and Bill).
A celebration of her life is planned for Sunday, December 6, in Princeton. For details please contact Andrea at yogacalling@gmail.com
In lieu of flowers, contributions in her name can be made to The Swarthmore Fund, or The Bryn Mawr Fund.
