Our hearts are heavy at the Rogers Kitchener Radio Group this weekend, as we mourn the loss of one of our own.
Longtime Country 106.7 morning show host Jennifer Campbell passed away peacefully Saturday following a courageous battle with cancer.
"This is sad news for anyone reading or hearing this as we know Jennifer was such a strong fighter. Know that your prayers, positive vibes, messages and virtual hugs helped Jennifer immensely throughout her battle. Thank you." read a post on the station's Facebook page.
She loved her family, what she did for a living, country music, and this community.
"Morning Country radio was more than a job for Jennifer on Country 106.7. She was committed to you, her audience - using her voice and considerable influence to spread love; to make us laugh and sometimes yes … to kick the hornet’s nest." the post went on to say. "We will always love Jennifer; she’ll always be in our hearts. Her memory will live on through songs on the radio forever. So to our beautiful blue bird … fly high until we meet again."
Jennifer was also heavily involved with the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region and Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region, providing countless volunteer hours for numerous fundraising events throughout the years while using her platform on the airways to bring awareness to important issues facing women in our community and ensuring these organizations and the women they protect had a voice.
Jennifer contributed to many KW Oktoberfest events before and during the festival. She hosted the KW Oktoberfest 'Rogers Women of the Year' event for many years, and celebrated the incredible women and their achievements in our community. She was also a stanch ally for KidsAbility Centre For Child Development, lending her voice and support whenever needed.
Over the past 5 years, she attended the CMA Awards in Nashville and provided national coverage for Rogers Sports & Media Country radio. Jennifer Campbell provided countless interviews to some of Country music’s biggest stars and was the only Canadian radio representative as part of the official CMA events.
Those wishing to honour Jennifer may donate via GoFundMe set up for her husband, Scott and her three boys, Ayson, Declan, and Gryffin.
Fierce. Strong. Full of fire. Jennifer Campbell. “boot stomper, proud mama, whiskey and wine lover…” Our radio...
