Shirley May Craig

On March 10, 1944, Shirley May (Campbell) Craig was born in Tempe, Arizona. Daughter of the late William Jefferson Campbell and Rowena May (Collins) Campbell, Shirley grew up in Arizona and Washington. She went to school in various places but mostly in Olympia, Washington where she graduated. Shirley was married to Lloyd Wood but unfortunately, they divorced in 1976. Lloyd and Shirley were blessed with four children: Rusty, Ernie, Sandy and Shante. Lloyd passed away in 2010. In 1980, Shirley began working as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). She served in this capacity until 1995 at which time she became a full-time caregiver to her aunt, Dorothy Campbell. She cared for Dorothy until 2013. Part of Shirley’s heritage was having some Native American roots. She loved reading stories and novels about Native Americans. Shirley also enjoyed jewelry, watching Western movies and loved planting flowers and working in her flower gardens. Shirley had made a profession of faith, and she went home to be with her Lord on Thursday, January 9, 2025, in her home in Waynesville having attained the age of 80 years. She will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all those that knew and loved her. Shirley leaves to cherish her memory, her four children: Rusty Wood of Laquey, MO, Ernie Wood of Doniphan, MO, Sandy Lambert (Rudy) of Laquey, MO, and Shante Donnell of Doniphan, MO; six grandchildren: Amber, Aaron, Tracy Gene, Melissa, Cheyenne, and Kali; nine great grandchildren: Landon, Cara, Jacob, Madilyn, Hayden, Lennon, Trace, Clyde, and Bethany; several nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. In addition to her parents, Shirley was preceded in death by three brothers: Chuck, Don, and Wayne Campbell. Even though she is gone from our sight, Shirley’s spirit will live on in our hearts forever. Services were held at 12:00 p.m. Thursday, January 16, 2025 in the Memorial Chapels and Crematory of Waynesville / St. Robert with Pastor Keith Carnahan officiating. The songs "I'll Fly Away" and "It Is Well with My Soul" were played. Services were under the care and direction of Memorial Chapels and Crematory of Waynesville / St. Robert.
