Raimundo Campelo, Jr., of Albemarle, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 25, 2026, at Stanly Manor Nursing Facility.
A formal service will be announced at a later date.
Born April 23, 1943, in Mineola, New York, Raimundo was the son of the late Raimundo and Eliza Campelo. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose life was centered around faith and family.
Raimundo is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Linda Campelo. Those left to cherish his memory include his son, Ray Campelo (Stella) of Albemarle; daughters, Denice Tomney (Andrew) of New York, Allison Campelo of New York, and Robin MacDonald (Kenneth) of New Jersey; his grandchildren, Bradley Tomney (Bridget), Adam Campelo (Alicia), Justin Tomney (Danielle), Billy Campelo, Tyler Tomney, Henry Campelo, Kaylee MacDonald, Austin Campelo, Emma MacDonald, and Cooper Campelo; great-grandchildren, Aiden, Myla, and Mackenzie; and his brother, Artie Bailey.
Raimundo was a loving and devoted father and a proud grandfather who delighted in time spent with his grandchildren. Known for his warm spirit, his motto in life was to always “smile and be happy.” A faithful Christian, he loved being involved in church and was a wonderful mentor to his family. He also enjoyed bowling and playing checkers, hobbies that brought him both joy and connection with others.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Stanly Manor Nursing Facility for their love, care, and compassion during Raimundo’s declining health. They also wish to thank his church families at St. Paul’s in New York, Morning Star in Charlotte, and First Lutheran Church in Albemarle for their continued support and prayers.
Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care of Albemarle is honored to serve the Campelo family.
