“They did amazing Christmas concerts that she would describe to us. And they were really touching,” McAndrew said according to the outlet. “She had very fond memories of those Christmas concerts.”
Campbell’s parents, Georg von Trapp and Agathe Whitehead von Trapp, along with her six siblings were the inspiration for “The Sound of Music” movie, NBC News reported.
“She was a very disciplined, woman, and yet she missed out on many of the things that the rest of us enjoyed in high school and college years and yet she was very grateful for all the travel and the experience she had,” Campbell’s daughter Elizabeth Peters said, according to NBC.
