Where do we begin?
It would take a great deal of time to put in words the life of Shirley; that much time we do not have, so in a brief summary, let’s begin.
To start off, Shirley was a great woman of God. Her actions, intentions, personality, character, attitude and words reflected the Word of God! A woman that did not complain about anything.
She was soft spoken, yet her words carried heavy wisdom and conviction. Shirley was a very organized and clean person; she was a hard worker who would not settle for anything other than the best. She raised her children in the Lord and with the word of God.
Shirley was married to Pastor Donald Campbell for 51 years!
She was faithful to her husband, her children, and her duties as a wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Shirley was a woman of honesty, integrity, commitment, and joy. Shirley was a praying woman. She modeled the terminology ‘prayer warrior’. Shirley would spend countless hours per week praying, reading her bible, and seeking God. Shirley’s attitude was abnormal. She had a golden, diamond, and priceless attitude. She lived this life with joy, faith, and peace. Shirley came from a big family raised in the country of Erath.
She was one of 15 siblings. Again, this is just a brief small sample size summary of the life of Shirley. Shirley’s legacy has been etched in eternity.
She was a great example of what a woman of God should be inside and out. To God Be The Glory For The Life Of Shirley Mae Theresa Green Campbell! Amen & Amen!
