Meet Sylvia Thompson
Independent Living
Meet Sylvia Thompson …
Sylvia was born and raised in Tampa, Florida where she attended Tampa public schools and graduated from Hillsborough High School. She continued her education at Polk State College and later at Florida Southern College, earning a degree in Elementary Education. Sylvia dedicated 27 years to teaching first grade at Garden Grove Elementary, shaping young minds and making a lasting impact on her community.
Sylvia and her husband, Paul, shared 47 wonderful years together and raised two children:
*Son now living in Melbourne, Florida
*Daughter still in Winter Haven living right next to where Sylvia lived in Cypresswood! She has 4 grandchildren, 3 boys and one girl.
She laughs that they were all in different colleges at the same time. Sylvia also played the piano at her church for many years.
Paul and Sylvia traveled to every continent except Antarctica. Her favorite place was Australia and New Zealand. Their love for exploration is truly inspiring.
Sylvia has been part of the Lake Howard Heights family for 7 months. She loves the variety of activities offered each day—but there’s one thing you should know: “Don’t get between me and my BINGO card!” Sylvia is a regular at every game and enjoys the lively community spirit.
Sylvia, welcome to Lake Howard Heights! We’re thrilled you chose to make this your home.

Meet Herb Campfield. Most of you know Herb from his friendly smile and welcoming personality, originally from Strongsville, Ohio where he lived for 50 years, wrestled and played football in high school.
He also lived in several other states, Herb was your local telephone repair man and also Line Man. He was married to Connie for 48 years before she was deceased and they together had three children who are their pride and joy. The oldest son Chuck served in the Marines, 14 years, his daughter Michelle the middle child served in the army 4 years, and his youngest son Chad also served in the Army and was a west point grad and colonel. Herb moved down to Florida looking for the sunshine in retirement, where he enjoys his time golfing, catching up on the latest movies, going to the casino, and hanging with his friends and sister. He will also keep you on your toes in Trivia. Next time you see Herb ask him what other states he lived in, he may have been very close to you.
We enjoy having you here with us at LHH.
