Gay Campbell - Secretary
I am presently the secretary of the CMA. My husband Bill and I live in Tulsa full time, but since our retirement a couple of years ago, we spend a lot of our time at our home at the Coves. We have had a place in the Coves for almost 30 years. We bought a townhome in Dogwood Cliffs in 1991, and 5 years ago sold the townhome and bought a home in the Coves. Bill and I both attended the University of Tulsa graduating in 1974. I began working at Saint Francis Health System in 1976 and retired from there last year after 43 years. Bill went to OU medical school, residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology, and retired a couple of years ago after being in private practice for several years. We have 2 children, 2 wonderful grandkids, 2 Golden Retrievers, and 2 cats.
I was president of Dogwood Cliffs for a couple of years and have been on the CMA board for a couple of years. I’m a member of the Coves Architectural Committee and recently joined the Garden Club. I love spending time outside, gardening, walking dogs, etc., and enjoy sewing, and craft projects. I firmly believe that The Coves is the best place EVER!!
