Anna Belle Campbell

Anna Belle Campbell was born July 21, 1935 to the late Anna and Mark Robison in Paris, Arkansas. Anna Belle was followed by a sister, Donna Janette and a brother, Leon. As their mother passed on at a young age, the three children moved to Keiser, Arkansas to be raised by their Aunt Ruby and Uncle Earl Nichols. Ruby and Earl had eleven children of their own, bringing the household to a total of fourteen children.

Anna Belle later met and married Bobby Liddell and they were blessed with three girls, Margaret, Freedia, and Donna. Anna and Bobby began raising their girls in Old Town Osceola.

Anna met and married her second husband, Mark W. Campbell in Blytheville, Arkansas. Mark had two sons, Mark Jr. and Kevin. Mark was in the Air Force and their adventures began with being stationed in the Philippines. They were able to see beautiful places like Thailand, Laos, and Japan.

Anna and Mark returned to the states and picked out a nice piece of land in Mulberry, where they would live out their lives. While still living in Oklahoma, they began clearing and developing the land in Mulberry and also adopted their daughter, Amanda. Soon they would finish a beautiful log cabin and permanently move to Mulberry.

Anna and Mark went on to have ten grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren, and twenty-one great-great-grandchildren, and one great-great-great-grandchild on the way.

Anna’s greatest joy was spending time with family, often with everyone gathered in their home. Grandchildren spent summers with them at home or in Branson spending time together and seeing wonderful sights. Grannie and Papa’s house was everyone’s house!

Anna and Mark traveled often, and loved going to Hogs games, once they flew all the way to Hawaii to watch the Hogs play. They were always on a road trip to see family or have some big adventure, often times with other family alongside them.

After losing Mark in 1999, Anna continued traveling. She retired from Whirlpool and could often be found riding her trike on some road trip or loaded up in the RV on an adventure. She even RV’d across Canada with her sister and brother-in-law.

Anna was a member of God’s Miracle Lighthouse Church, and loved having her children and grandchildren fill up the pews in church with her!

She passed peacefully at home on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. She was surrounded by family in a room filled with love.

She is survived by her children, Margaret Clifton and husband Don, Donna Coulter, Kevin Campbell and wife Aphrodite, Amanda McMahan and husband Dennis; grandchildren, Edwin McBee and wife Joy, Anna Roberts and husband Greg, Donald Clifton Jr. and wife Ginger, Bobby James Clifton and wife Michelle, Dana Doerflinger and husband Dan, Allison Cloud and husband Darin, Mark Lewis Campbell, Anthony Coble, Katherine Jackson and husband Nicholas; as well as eighteen great-grandchildren, and twenty-one great-great-grandchildren.
