She was preceded in death by her mother and a special uncle and aunt, Jimmy and Dona Clubb.

Mrs. James was born Feb. 11, 1960, in Oceanside, Calif., to Ronal and Karen (Clubb) Campbell. Many will remember her from the 10 years she worked at the Lamar Walmart store. Building on her retail experience, she accepted the opportunity to manage the Abilene, Texas Harbor Freight Store. Moving back to Missouri, she managed the Stockton Dollar General for a year before failing health forced her to retire. She achieved the goals she had set for herself, proudly working her way to the top of the corporate ladder as a strong, successful, independent woman. She was a wonderful mother, Nana, friend and companion.
