Mrs. Camp, the former Miss Maynor Ware, was a native of Rome and was educated in the public schools here. Long an active Democratic leader, she was chairman of the Floyd County Democratic Executive Committee at the time of her death, having been a member for more than 20 years. She also was serving her fourth term as justice of the peace for the Mount Alto District.

Mrs. Camp was married to the late Fred Camp, a former Rome policeman, who died in 1944.
She was one of the few women ever appointed to the staff of a Georgia governor, having been named by Gov. Ernest Vandiver as a lieutenant colonel on his official staff, a post which she held at the time of her death.
The Sevens-Davenport Funeral Home had charge of arrangements. (Rome News-Tribune, Wednesday, Dec. 2, 1959)
