Beverly Campbell

Beverly Arrington Campbell of McKinney, Texas, passed away peacefully on January 3, 2026, at the age of 76. Although Beverly resided in McKinney for the past seven years, she spent most of her life in West Point, Mississippi—the place she always considered home. Beverly was known for her creativity, which was evident in everything she touched and for the meaningful friendships she forged with people of all ages and backgrounds.

Beverly was born on August 25, 1949 in Grenada, Mississippi, to Virgil Homer Arrington and Janet Brown Arrington Farish. She grew up in Nashville, Tennessee and attended Hillsboro High School before graduating from Coffeeville High School in Mississippi in 1967. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Mississippi College for Women. While in college, she met the love of her life, Henry Carlisle Campbell. They were married for 46 years until his death in 2019.

Beverly’s greatest joy was her family. Known affectionately as “Bevie,” she was a devoted mother and grandmother to her three children and six grandchildren. She nurtured them with love, wisdom, and faith—gifts that will carry on for generations to come.

In 1991, Beverly began teaching private art lessons and later opened Studio B in downtown West Point. She taught art there until 2017, leaving a lasting impact on generations of children throughout the West Point community.

Her talents extended beyond the art studio. Beverly shared her beautiful alto voice as a member of the First United Methodist Church Chancel Choir in West Point for 33 years, where she also served as a music teacher for the church's Child Development Center. She was an active member of the West Point Music Coterie for 25 years and served as a member of the West Point Home and Garden Club.

Beverly was deeply devoted to her faith. She attended Stonebridge United Methodist Church in McKinney, Texas, and was a longtime, devoted member of First United Methodist Church in West Point, Mississippi.

She is survived by her loving children: Elizabeth Campbell and partner Jason Nixon of Franklin, Tennessee; Katherine Seyb and husband Jacob of McKinney, Texas; and Carlisle Campbell and wife Katie of Alexandria, Virginia. She was a cherished grandmother to Spencer Seyb, Campbell Seyb, Elizabeth Seyb, Henry Campbell, Grace Campbell, Sarah Campbell, and Rebecca Nixon.

She is also survived by her sister, Lee Barron (Tim) of Hernando, Mississippi; brothers, Homer Arrington of Pennsylvania and Jim Arrington (Karen) of Senatobia, Mississippi; sisters-in-law, Julia Shirley of West Point, Mississippi, Elizabeth Bailey (Eugene) of West Point, Mississippi; along with a host of other loving family members and dear friends.

Beverly was preceded in death by her parents and her beloved husband, Carlisle.
