I was so sorry to hear of Mrs. Campbell’s passing. I had her as a teacher in the first grade. She was a awesome teacher and made learning fun. She blessed many lives in the Shiloh area. I know she blessed mine.
Carole and Bob, I was so saddened to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was a big part of my childhood starting with being my first grade teacher and, of course, Rome Community Church! We have lost what I believe is the last of the great “Rome Ladies” ……Patriarches, really….. of our little Rome Community. My thoughts and prayers to you both.
RIP Mrs. Campbell…….Fly High
