Kim Campbell
Caregiving and Alzheimer’s Advocate
Kim Campbell was married to pop-country music legend Glen Campbell for more than three decades and is a testament to devotion and overcoming adversity. Kim helped Glen beat cocaine addiction and alcoholism only to face their greatest challenge when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2011.
Kim supported her husband through the tumultuous hardships that accompany the disease and has become a tireless, influential voice for all people living with Alzheimer’s. In 2011, Kim, Glen and their children went public to courageously share Glen’s battle with Alzheimer’s. They invited filmmakers James Keach and Trevor Albert to document Glen's Goodbye Tour, which produced the award-winning documentary Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me.
The documentary helped to break the stigma that accompanies Alzheimer’s and provides hope and comfort to families who are facing the same challenges. Kim remained by Glen’s side for all 151 shows, including his appearance at the 2012 Grammy Awards. Kim has made it her mission to improve the quality of life for families and caregivers.
