Kim Campbell, widow of music legend Glen Campbell, is a caregiver advocate, author, and leader in Alzheimer’s awareness.

As Glen’s wife and caregiver, she shared their journey in the award-winning documentary Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me, which chronicled his “Goodbye Tour” and earned two Grammys, a CMA Award, and an Oscar nomination.

To support caregivers, Kim founded CareLiving.org and serves on boards for dementia care initiatives. Through the Kim and Glen Campbell Foundation, she is funding a music lab at Abe’s Garden to explore music’s impact on dementia. Her memoir, Gentle On My Mind, is widely available
