1939 - 2015
Dorothy L. Campbell (nee Dodgen) went home to heaven to be with our Lord Jesus; her husband, Rod Campbell (married June 7, 1958); grandson, Austin Hammer; parents, Joe and Hazel Dodgen and Robert and Ethel Campbell; and brothers, Allen and Bobby Joe Dodgen on Monday, January 5, 2015 from her earthly home in Caledonia, Michigan. Left behind, rejoicing that we were a part of her 75 years are daughters, Ellen Campbell and Missy Hammer (nee Campbell); son, Bert Hammer; grandchildren, Randi Hammer and Cody Hammer; great-granddaughter, Blayke Hammer; adopted grandsons, Aaron, Tobyn, and Jakobe Will and Justin Malkowski; adopted granddaughters, Katie Persons, Kayla Burke, Kassandra Eyer, and Austynn Malkowski; siblings, J.C. Dodgen, Cecil (Linda) Dodgen, Barbara (Thomas) Hull, Shirley (George) Pyne; sister-in-law, Donna Dodgen; many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews; and adopted sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, and friends. The family ties that Dorothy tied were strong and will not break with her passing as they were anchored in love. Dorothy, a proud housewife, took pleasure in maintaining her home and loved to visit with friends and family whenever possible. She loved to sew, crochet, read, cook, and travel. She was strong in her faith, testified of her many blessings, and loved to sing praises to her Lord. She will be remembered for the Christian examples she displayed throughout her life. Funeral services will be held at 3:00 PM Friday, January 9, 2015 at Hurst Funeral Home, Greenville, with visitation from 2:00 to 3:00 PM prior to the funeral. R. Syvette Donald will officiate, and burial will follow in Spencer Township Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be given to the Childhood Leukemia Foundation.
