Flossie Campbell Obituary
Clarksburg, Calif.
Flossie Campbell was born in Mountain Park, Okla., on September 10, 1916, and passed away at her home in Clarksburg on November 2, 2007. She was educated in local Mountain Park schools and on August 10, 1935, married Delno Campbell. Two years later they moved to Clarksburg, Calif., and she began seventy years of active and loving involvement in her community. Flossie had many passions - her family, her community, gardening and supporting a variety of volunteer organizations in Clarksburg and the Sacramento area. She was devoted to her husband, children and their spouses, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. As a mother and grandmother she stressed the importance of education and service to others. Her children, Bobbie and Mike, are particularly appreciative of her leadership in their youth activities, their immaculate home and great meals, the piano lessons and her support for their educations.
Flossie enjoyed a broad range of volunteer activities. She was a very active member and supporter of the Clarksburg Community Church. Her church and church family were of great importance in her life. She loved her volunteer activities at Methodist Hospital and her 32 years of service is a record today. Her five decades of membership in the Eastern Star chapter in Courtland gave her great enjoyment and many friendships. She felt very strongly about helping the less fortunate and her volunteer activities with the Juvenile Services Council in Sacramento County inspired her for over 20 years. She was also actively involved with the Clarksburg Ladies Fellowship, the Clarksburg Garden Club and La Perita Garden Club, the USO, the American Cancer Society and the California Farm Bureau.
Flossie was an inspiration to all that knew her and her passion, enthusiasm and determination will be remembered and appreciated always by her family and friends. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of sixty years Delno and her sister and four brothers. She is survived by her brother Curtis Mitchell, daughter Bobbie Morris and her husband Chip, son Mike Campbell, daughter- in-law Lita Campbell, grandchildren Michelle Foster and her husband Andrew, Noelle Campbell, Chad Morris and his wife Jessica, Trevor Morris and great-granddaughters Meredith and Caroline Foster.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, November 9, at 11:00 a.m. at the Clarksburg Community Church located at 52910 Netherlands Avenue in Clarksburg.
In lieu of flowers, her family suggests that you make a contribution, in her memory, to the Clarksburg Community Church, P.O. Box 36, Clarksburg, CA 95612 or your favorite charity.

Dearest Flossie, When I think of you Flossie, I think of LOVE. How Lovingly you invited me into your life. When I think you you Flossie, I think of MODESTY. How you lived your life, never boasting of personal accomplishments. Choosing to give all your thanks to the Lord. When I think you you, Flossie, I think of STRENGTH. How strong and mighty you are in such a delicate frame of body. When I think of you, Flossie, I think of HARD TIMES, growing up during the Great Depression. You always had a smile on your face and a song in your heart. Reminding us of how blessed we really were. When I think you you Flossie, I think of MOTHERHOOD and what a good Mother you were. How you would beam with joy just thinking about your children, and how proud I am of you today. When I think of you Flossie, I think of GRATEFULNESS. How grateful I am to have had you in my life. When I think of you Flossie, I think of REUNION. How happy I will be to sit and talk with you again. You will say, isn't it as beautiful as He said, and I will say, yes indeed! Dearest Flossie, all these things you may never know till we speak again. We have lots to talk about. I will think of you, Flossie, all my days. Your Sister in Law, Juanita Mitchell

Mike and Bobbie....I am sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I was out of the country and did not hear about it until yesterday afternoon so my apologies for not being at the services. Your Mom was always very nice to me. I hope you are both doing OK.

My dear Aunt Flossie: You will be incredibly missed. But, you are now in the splendor of the Lord. and with your dear mother, husband, and family.
When visiting or calling her, Flossie would warm our hearts in a way I can't describe. She would reminisce to my husband and I about her family as she loved them all. But her words of affection for her mom, Bobbie, were awesome! "Oh, Earlene, Tom, she would say, mother would make the whole house smell wonderful, with freshly baked bread!, Oh, my dear mom, dad, and family worked so hard. My mom, Bobbie, always spoke soft, caring words, and she prayed with all the children before bedtime. We didn't have much and daddy drove the school bus, but we had love."
Those words are etched so fondly in my memory from a loving, caring daughter, wife, mother, sister and aunt. She too, had the softest, most gentle words for her family. She extended a hand, volunteered, forgave, counseled, and much more.
I can only say that some people like Flossie and my mother(who recently passed in Heaven)have left a warm and lasting memory that will not pass.
A church song reads, "When the road is called up yonder, I'll be there." When we get called up yonder, we'll be there to hug you! Our family and friends are better people because of you!

My name is Kathy Clifton, Flossie was my Great Aunt. Over the years, I saw my Aunt Flossie at numerous family reunions, but really connected with her about 4 years ago, when my youngest daughter was entering college at UC Davis. I knew that her son, Mike had gone to school there and decided one night to call her. I was talking to my Aunt about how hard it was going to be for my daughter to live away from home, more that two hours away from us, how much I would miss her and how nervous I was about this life change. She told me she had the same experience, when her son Mike went to college. She told me that she just cried and cried when he left. I was a little confused, because I thought Mike went to UC Davis, which is very near Clarkesburg. I thought, stupid me, I must have misunderstood. Mike must have gone to college his first year somewhere far away, perhaps in another state. After all, Aunt Flossie said she was so upset that he had gone. I asked her, Aunt Flossie, where did Mike go to college? She said, UC Davis! I quietly laughed to myself. I thought that was so cute of her to relate her experience to me, and yet her son was only a few miles down the road. I continued to keep in close touch with Aunt Flossie, and she continued to be a great support to me. She was a wonderful lady . I'll miss her stories!

I am a volunteer at Methodist Hospital, I have the privilege of working a shift on the Information desk just before Flossie's shift on Wednesday. It was always a pleasure to chat with her and enjoy the beautiful flowers she would bring to share with all of us. She would also share her home grown vegetables with us. What a wonderful woman and what a long and useful life she had. My deapest sympathy for her familly, God bless. Sincerely, Joyce Topping

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Bobbie Sue, I am very sorry to learn of your mother's passing. I never got to meet your parents when you and I were roommates at UCD, but I do remember how you spoke of them with great fondness. Your mother was very fortunate to live a long and full life and to have all the joys of watching her children and grandchildren grow up beneath her guiding wings. I can imagine that it was the loving spirit of both your parents that I saw in you and your brother way back in 1968-69.

Our days with Flossie were so incredibly wonderful. We were privileged to know her for only a few years, but she provided much inspiration and love in that short time. She was truly a great lady, a very real part of California history. We will miss her much, and are so thankful that our grandchildren, Meredith and Caroline, were able to know their great-grandmother.
