Each month, Tri Delta publishes In Memoriam, highlighting the lives of some of our Distinguished Deltas and longtime volunteers and sharing a full list of sisters who have recently passed away. Below is the In Memoriam for August 2021.
Past Fraternity President Jeanne Johnston Phillips, Southern Methodist
It is with great sadness that Tri Delta shares the loss of a beloved sister, leader and past Fraternity President, Jeanne Johnston Phillips, Southern Methodist, on Sept. 25. Jeanne was initiated into Theta Kappa Chapter in 1942.
During her time at SMU, she was very involved in Tri Delta and campus organizations. She was rush chair (now called vice president of membership experience) during her sophomore year and became collegiate chapter president her senior year.
Her campus involvement included treasurer of the freshman class, president of the geography club, Panhellenic delegate, and a member of Phi Lambda Theta and Kappa Delta Pi.
Jeanne’s love for school and SMU never ended even after graduating in 1945 with a Bachelor of Arts in geography. She went on to receive a master’s in geography in 1953. She also taught geography at SMU and was chairman of SMU Sororities Council.
After graduating, Jeanne’s involvement with Tri Delta grew even more. Her volunteer roles included scholarship advisor and alumna advisor for Theta Kappa Chapter, district president (now called collegiate district officer) for five chapters in Texas and national program chair for pledge trainers (now called directors of first year experience). She also served the Fraternity as an associate director from 1970 to 1972.
She joined the Executive Board in 1972 and continued to serve the Board until 1980. During this time, she was elected Collegiate Vice President 1972-1976, and served as Fraternity President 1976-1980. Jeanne also served as a member of the Fraternity Council 1970-1984 and became chair of the council in 1980 until 1984. During the same period, she was also chair of the Nominating Committee (now called Leadership Development Committee). Other volunteer roles included a member of the Foundation Crescent Fund Committee 1982-1988, a member of the Century Fund, a member of Theta Kappa Chapter House Corporation Board and president of the Dallas Alumnae evening group.
Jeanne enjoyed music ministry for many years. She was an organist for a small church and played piano for Presbyterian Rehab Center, numerous nursing homes and Women in Bible. The Senior Sunday School class at Park Cities Presbyterian in Dallas, Texas, enjoyed her music every Sunday. She was also a member of The Daughters of the Republic of Texas and a member of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution.
We are so grateful for her lifetime membership, and Jeanne’s loyalty and devotion to our Purpose will continue to live on in Tri Delta.

Kathryn “Katy” Goodwin, Denison
Kathryn “Katy” Goodwin attended Denison University where she met her future husband, R. William “Bill” Goodwin. At Denison, she joined Tri Delta and was selected as one of six Denison Campus Government Association leaders. After college graduation, she went to work for Proctor & Gamble. Bill and Katy were married on May 21, 1955, and settled in Granville, Ohio, where they adopted their two children, Becky and Ross.
They later moved to Ann Arbor where Katy took a job in the President’s Office at the University of Michigan. She also was a tour director for Conlin Travel, where she traveled to places all over the world. Bill and Katy finally settled in Sarasota, Florida, where she was active in the local Tri Delta alumnae chapter, serving as president from 2011-2013. In addition to Tri Delta, she was also involved in Friendship Force, where she also served as president twice, Friends of the Sarasota Ballet, and Singles on the Go. She ushered at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center for over 30 years, West Coast Black Theatre, Sarasota Ballet, and the Asolo. She also worked for Sarasota Memorial Hospital in the finance department. Katy loved to travel, having visited over 100 countries.
Harryette Campbell, Missouri
Harryette joined Tri Delta at the University of Missouri, graduating in 1948. After graduation, Harryette spent a year in Hawaii where she worked at Queen’s Hospital in the bookkeeping department. She moved to Sikeston, Missouri, in 1950 when she and her brother, T.E. (Sonny) Campbell purchased the Bell City Cotton Gin Co. in Bell City, Missouri, and operated the business until 1972. She was still handling her farming operation until her death.
Harryette set up the Harryette B. Campbell Endowed Anthropological Fund at Southeast Missouri University which enabled students to study abroad. She also supported scholarships in agriculture and liberal arts. In 2005 Southeast Missouri University honored her with the Distinguished Service Award for her lasting contributions to the university and in 2011, she was honored with the Friend of the University Award.
