Carol was a devoted Christian who had unwavering faith throughout her life. Through her courageous 7-year battle with cancer, she never doubted God's plans. Carol will always be remembered for her positive attitude and smiling face.

Carol worked at Woolco in Sioux City where she met her future husband, Denny Campbell in 1968. After working at Woolco, she worked at Goodwill in South Sioux City, Nebraska.

Carol was a devoted and caring wife, mom, and grandma. She enjoyed camping and riding motorcycles with her husband, going to the casino with her partner-in-crime Marsha, and thrifting. Carol found her greatest joy in her family, especially hanging out with her grandkids. Carol spent one day a week for many years taking her grandkids on "Kids Night Out" which consisted of a shopping spree at Dollar Tree, going to the playground, and eating out at their favorite restaurant, McDonalds. Carol traveled many miles to watch her grandkids in all kinds of events, including basketball, dance, volleyball, softball, cheerleading, football, golf, and theater.
