Patricia Mary Jean Sowell

February 27, 1953 – November 9, 2025

Patricia Mary Jean Sowell, 72, a resident of Oxford, Florida, and formerly of Green Bay,

Wisconsin, passed away peacefully at home following a long illness.

Born on February 27, 1953, in Appleton, Wisconsin, she was the daughter of the late

James F. Campbell Sr. and Janice Claire (Miller) Campbell.  She was united in marriage

to Charles Sowell, who, along with her parents, preceded her in death. The couple had

no children.

Patricia graduated from Green Bay West High School before earning a degree from the

University of Wisconsin-Madison. She spent 50 years working in finance starting in the

payroll department at Cherry Creek School district in Colorado with the bulk of her

career in finance and sales at Jim Beam Brands in Northbrook, Illinois. She was active

in her Church as a reader of the Word, an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion

and Coordinator of the St. Norbert Eucharistic Adoration Ministry. Her generosity shined

through in everything she did. Pat believed in giving back, and her regular donations to

charities demonstrated her compassion and commitment to helping others. Pat was a lover

of the arts and took full advantage of all that Chicago had to offer.  She loved to travel.

Two highlights of her travels were taking her godson to Africa and her Dad to Ireland

and Scotland.

A woman who was deeply loved and cherished, Patricia’s memory will be carried on by

her devoted family and a wide circle of friends. She is survived by her siblings: Mary

Goeden (Gerald), Nancy Folz (Dennis), James F. Campbell Jr. (Debbie), Kevin

Campbell, Bridget Lehmann (James), Timothy Reed (Lynn) and Robert Campbell

(Roberta).

She is further survived by her nieces and nephews along with grandnieces and grandnephews, cousins and second cousins.

A funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church,

Summerfield, Florida on Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 10AM. In lieu of flowers, the

family requests that donations be made to St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church for

the Adoration Chapel in memory of Patricia Sowell.
