Camilla Durham was the late wife of Whitey Durham. An unseen character, she was frequently referenced by her former husband, who would often visit her gravestone in Tree Hill's local cemetery.

In a conversation between Whitey and Lucas Scott, in which Lucas was urging him to go through with his eye surgery, it was revealed Camilla had died due to complications in surgery.

Character arc

Background

Camilla was the wife of Whitey Durham, the longtime coach of the Tree Hill High School Ravens varsity basketball team. He often mentioned that she was the love of his life and one of the few things that was more important to him than basketball. Whitey had originally promised his wife that he would retire from coaching after twenty years and making a differences in his players' lives. Upon his twentieth coaching anniversary, however, Whitey chose not to retire, as he had not yet achieved his personal goal of winning 500 basketball games.

Unfortunately, Camilla died shortly thereafter due to complications arising in surgery. Her husband would continue coaching the Tree Hill Ravens basketball team even after his thirty-fifth career anniversary and winning his 500th game in season one.
