Born in Prague IT (Indian Territory) before Oklahoma statehood. Her parents were Earl and Mary Stewart. Flossie had one older brother, Bailey and two younger brothers Manford and Ira. In 1921 the family moved from Lincoln county to a farm in Cleveland County, Oklahoma. Flossie finished her schooling in the Moore School system graduating in 1923. She continued schooling at Hill's Business College and earned a business certificate in 1925, when she went to work for the Wheatland National Bank. In 1937 she married Laymond Campbell and moved to Carthage, Missouri. They had two children, Earl Newton and Mary Francis. In 1943 they moved to Bethany, Oklahoma where Laymond worked for the Meadow Gold Dairy. He was killed in a car wreck on his way to work on January 4, 1946. Later, she went back to work for the same bank, which had moved to Bethany. She retired in 1967 with over 40 years of service to the bank. Flossie died in September, 1984 at a nursing home in Oklahoma City. She was preceded in death by her husband, Laymond, her parents and one brother, Bailey. She was survived by her son and daughter-in-law Earl and Phyllis Campbell and her daughter and son-in-law, Mary and Wayne Oravetz. She had five grandchildren. She was also survived by two brothers, Manford and Ira Stewart. Nieces and nephews.
As she had requested, her body was taken to Missouri to be buried beside her husband Laymond, in Pembina Cemetery.
This was my mother and the "rock" of my life. Although she was widowed at a young age she never remarried. She carried on with her life, raised her children and loved one man. She was bound to be hurting at times, but we lived in a world of happiness and laughter. I like to say that my memories of growing up are in a world where the sun was always shining. She was a unique woman. She was a very strong hearted woman in a little petite body. Thank God for moms like this one.
