Zuda Bennett Hurd

August 29, 2012 by Lisa Parker

Zuda was born July 19, 1926 in Aledo.
Raised in Aledo, she married John Campbell and raised four children while residing in Mineral Wells, Austin and Irving, Texas. Everywhere she lived she contributed to the communities by adding her smile and laughter, help to anyone in need, and inspiration to all who knew her. Never seeing problems she couldn’t overcome, she led her family by giving them encouragement at every turn. She moved to Waxahachie in 1997 to be near her daughter.
She spent her life as a homemaker and serving her Lord every chance she had through her church, WMU, Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, numerous mission trips, Eastern Star, Baylor Auxiliary, Women’s Republican Club, as well as the communities in which she lived. Zuda, known by her grandchildren as “DeeDee” treasured the time she spent with them; she loved playing with them, sharing Jesus with them and watching each one come to know the Lord. Tireless in her efforts; she served in any way she could.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Carl Hurd.
Survivors include her four children: Ben Campbell (Phyllis) of Austin, Johnny Campbell (Kim) of South Lake, Becki Gilliam (Jon) of Midlothian and Tom Campbell of Granbury, six grandsons, six-great-grandchildren and one great-great grandson. Through her daughters marriage she also gained three more grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. The Bennett family includes brother, Bill Bennett of Mineral Wells (Carlene) and many nieces and nephews.
