Susie Silbia Scott Kampmeier passed away peacefully in her home in Helena, Ala., in the early morning of March 21, 2016.
Mrs. Kampmeier was born and raised in Vinemont, Ala. Upon graduation from high school, she followed her dream of attending the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. While there, she worked at the campus library to finance her education and ultimately achieved her goal of a degree in mathematics. After graduation, she had a long career as a well respected mathematician at Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in Chattanooga, Tenn., where she lived for many years and then subsequently in Cullman and Helena. Silbia loved to travel, read and spend time with her large extended family.
Mrs. Kampmeier was preceded in death by her loving husband, Roland Kampmeier, her parents, Columbus Jarrett Scott and Ana Mabrey Scott; five brothers, Clinton, Cordis, Carmel, Parks and Macon Scott; and dear stepdaughter, Ann Qualman.
She is survived by two brothers, Foy Scott of Rockville, Ind., and Ollie W. Scott (Mary) of Helena, Ala.,; two sisters-in-law, Jean Scott and Peggy Scott. She is also survived by two stepchildren, William “Bill” Kampmeier (Paige) and Susan Kampmeier Stein (George); son-in-law, Harry Qualman, grandchildren, Anna Qualman (Eric), Sara Qualman (Alejandro), Jennifer Lehrman (Daniel), Deborah Kampmeier (John), Ada Laura Stein (Sune Thorsteinsson), Jannon Stein, Julia Stein; seven great-grandchildren, Sofia, Ilana, Maia, Ollin, Miguel, Aaliyanah, and Erik Bjarthur; and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family deeply appreciates the special care given by the fabulous staff at New Beacon Hospice and her caregivers (especially Emily Lacey, Shanna Swimelar, Cate Andrews, Whitley Chapman and Erika Carr).
Visitation will be at 1 p.m. Thursday, March 24, at Cullman Heritage Funeral Home with a service following at 3 p.m.
