Shirley Mae Campbell, 85, of Owasso, Oklahoma, reached her journey’s end August 4, 2018, in Dewey, Oklahoma. She began her life journey, April 9, 1933, in Rockford, Illinois, born to Louis and Marcella Thompson Botterman. She completed her secondary education in Manhattan, Kansas, and was a graduate of Manhattan High School. She was married August 14, 1951, in Fort Jackson, South Carolina, to Cletus A. Campbell. Early in their marriage, Shirley began traveling with her husband multiple times to Germany while he served in the military. Later in life they turned that passion into a business as they crossed this country in a Big Rig. Even in retirement, the passion continued as they became “Snowbirds” and traveled wherever the sun was shining and it was warm. Shirley could always share with you about their adventures.
