Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):

Mary Campbell was born August 13, 1923, in Owensboro Kentucky. She attended Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky as a member of the Class of 1944. There, she met her husband, Paul, while he was attending officer training as a member of the Army Air Corps. She married Paul on June 6, 1946, and they moved to Lexington, Virginia where Paul attended, and later taught, at Washington & Lee University School of Law. Mary and Paul then moved to Richmond, where she would spend the rest of her very full life. A member of Seventh Street Christian Church since moving to Richmond, Mary Campbell served in many leadership roles, including as a member of the choir for more than 25 years. She also was active in many charitable organizations, among them the Richmond Lawyer’s Auxiliary, where she received an award from the City of Richmond for her leadership of the Richmond Area Court Docent Program - and the Children’s Hospital Foundation Senior Board, on which she remained a member for forty four years. She was also twice a member of the Board of Trustees of the Lexington Theological Seminary in Lexington, Kentucky. Mary Campbell was devoted to her children and grandchildren. As the mother of three sons at Collegiate School, there was seldom an athletic event she did not attend, and she continued her support when her grandchildren followed their fathers at the same school. Indeed, Mary Campbell often could be found in the stands watching her beloved Cougars playing football even after her grandchildren had graduated. Handy with needles and yarn, Mary Campbell was an avid knitter, and also turned out beautiful works of crewel and needlepoint.



She was buried in April 2017 in Forest Lawn Cemetery and Mausoleum, Richmond, Henrico Co., VA, Findagrave #178554219.

Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):

Paul Mason Shuford

Paul Mason Shuford, a longtime Richmond-area lawyer and former president of the Richmond Bar Association, was born on July 2, 1922 to Jesse Franklin Shuford and Lois Wright Shuford.

In his career of more than forty-five years, Mr. Shuford was a partner in the former Wallerstein, Goode, Dobbins and Shuford firm and was a founder of Shuford, Rubin & Gibney. He was a member of the State Bar Council from 1984 to 1987 and from 1988 to 1994 and was Commissioner in Chancery in Richmond, Henrico and Chesterfield Circuit Courts.

Mr. Shuford was a 1942 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Washington and Lee University. After receiving a Purple Heart for his service during World War II, he returned to Washington and Lee University, where he earned his Juris Doctor degree in 1948. He was the past National President of the University's Alumni Association.

He taught at the Richmond College of Law, now T. C. Williams School of Law, from 1950-1954. Mr. Shuford was active in the Democratic Party and was legal counsel and advisor to several campaigns including those of former Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. and former Governor Gerald Baliles.

Under the pen name "Cato," Mr. Shuford wrote a legal column for The Richmond News Leader called "Letter of the Law." The column earned him a 1960 Silver Gavel Award from the American Bar Association.

Mr. Shuford was a member of the Commonwealth Club and served as a trustee of the Collegiate Schools and Seventh Street Christian Church.

He is survived by hiss wife, Mary Campbell Gant Shuford, his sons and their wives, David G. and Torrey Shuford, Mark C. and Laura Shuford; and his grandchildren, Alice Ambler Shuford, David G. Shuford, Jr. and Ruth Weldon Shuford, all of Richmond.

The family suggests that memorial gifts be made to the Paul M. Shuford II Scholarship Fund at Collegiate School, N. Mooreland Road, Richmond, Virginia 23229 or Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia 24450.
