Shelby Campbell Obituary

Shelby Charlene Campbell was born on February 6, 1993 in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Those who knew Shelby will remember her beaming smile, boisterous laugh, and her uncanny ability to connect with people.

Shelby deeply cared for others. With an effortless light that shined brightly from her soul and filled everyone around with joy. She never knew a bad day and would be determined to turn yours around if she sensed you were blue. To Shelby, every interaction was an opportunity to extend kindness and respect. Her fulfillment came largely from influencing positive change in the lives of others; she truly enjoyed watching people get better.

Whether making new friends at the bead store she managed, delivering comedic relief at the Starlight, or walking down Main Ave with a bright smile and notable stride - Shelby SHINED. She had an effervescence about her that was contagious, she reminded us all what it means to truly be alive.

Shelby would want us to remember her beloved best friend, Emma Sims, and her family during this time. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they grieve the loss of their loved one as well.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I so wish we knew more about the Beautiful Shelby and her friend. My husband and I certainly remember her.... we both recall her presence and possibly the sound of her walking around in boots...as we recall . We only knew her from the Bead shop and her presence brought the shop a vibe that was definitely felt.

We pray for her family and all who lives she touched.

I always called Shelby our savant of jewelry repair and jewelry making. She also was talented in lifting up all around her with her vivacious
personality. She is missed by many.

Thank you Shelby for being such a shining light to talk to each time I came in to have my turtle necklace fixed. You were always so helpful and I will truly miss seeing you in town. My heart goes out to your family and friends. May you all be filled with Shelby`s love always.
