Campbell December 20, 1958 when she was 16 and he was 18. In February

busy raising their 4 small children (Tami, Sandi, Chip & Joe) while Dub
worked in the construction industry helping to build our new town. In
1970 they purchased their first loader and went into business. That
loader grew into Campbell Redi-Mix and Pioneer EarthMovers. In 1980
they completed their family with the birth of their son Andy, the only
child they planned. The family has grown to include 12 grandchildren
and 11 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her loving husband

family business, she also found time to be involved with the local girl
scout organization for many years. She also greatly enjoyed the shows
and was a loyal supporter of Grace Arts. Dot was also a member of a
local sorority and attended Calvary Baptist church. She had a special
love for babies and found great delight in collecting dolls throughout
her life. Her affection for anything and everything pink was well known
among family and friends and became a signature expression of her bright
and loving personality.
