Carol Lynette (Skinner) Burns Campbell was born on December 23, 1944 in San Diego, CA to Emma Elizabeth (Atkins) Skinner and James Doswell Skinner. After her father's retirement from the Navy the family moved to Louisiana where she and her sisters grew up and attended schools in the Mansfield area.

Carol was mainly a homemaker but also worked various jobs throughout her lifetime including retail, insurance and as a landlord with her late husband Carlton. She was also very active with her late husband's ministry work at Richard's Spur Baptist Church in Elgin, OK. Carol also enjoyed attending her

children, grandchildren and great-children's events; be it sporting events, graduations or weddings and especially all the birthdays. They always loved seeing their Gaga, as she was known by all the grandchildren.

Carol also had an insaitable love for animals, especially all the dogs she had throughout her lifetime. In her latter years she enjoyed watching TV especially game shows with her favorite being The Price is Right as well as the old time western movies.

during Christmas and Halloween; she loved dressing up and handing out candy to the kids in the neighborhood. She will be dearly missed by all that knew her, but she leaves behind memories that will continue to comfort us all.
