Retired Wayne County Probate Court Judge Patricia Campbell dies

The Honorable Patricia Jean (nee Biškupi?) Campbell, retired Wayne County Probate Court Judge, passed away peacefully with family at her side on August 12, 2020, predeceased by her husband Donald Alexander Campbell (1933-2000), an attorney for Wayne County. 

With support from her husband, children, and many friends, Patricia embarked on a legal career, a trailblazer for her time.  She obtained a Juris Doctorate from Wayne State University in 1975.  Her first full-time legal position was as an Assistant Prosecutor for Wayne County.  Her commitment to Detroit youth earned her the position of Referee in Wayne County Juvenile Court.  In 1990, she ran for and won a seat on Wayne County Probate Court gaining publicity and admiration for her innovative campaign.

She is survived by her eight children: Bruce (Anne Marie Langan), Diane (Scott Salter), Carole (David Rhoadarmer), Paula (the late James Kelly), Donald (Sheri Ann Pawlak), Craig (Sarah Chastain), Leslie (Stephen Barker), and Rosanne (Jon Nadenichek).  Patricia was grandmother to 18 – Michael (1994), Katherine, Patrick, Jacob, Hazen, Ella, Muriel, John (Jack), Luke, Campbell, Caroline, Madeline, Ian, Malcolm, Joseph, Edward, Cade and Lydia.

Due to current restrictions on gathering, a memorial in her honor is being planned for May 2021. Please send an email to great88@nadenichek.com noting your connection to Pat, if you would like to be notified of final plans.  Regarding donations, she supported the mission of the Pope Francis Center.
