Michael Wayne Campbell & Nelda An (Morisse) Campbell
Nelda was born May 1, 1954, at Nashville, Kansas, the youngest child of
seven born to Edward Roy and Ruby Mae (Steele) Morisse.
She was baptized May 30, 1954, at St. John's Lutheran Church by Pastor
Herman Seyfert and confirmed April 18, 1968, by Pastor Merlyn Lohrke.
Michael Wayne Campbell was born January 16, 1955, at Del Rio, Texas,
where his father was stationed in the Air Force. The eldest of four
children born to Donald Wayne and Dorothy Jean (Johnson) Campbell, now
of Westmoreland, Kansas, Michael grew up and spent all his school years in
Westmoreland before going away to college at Kansas State University,
Manhattan, Kansas.
Nelda and Michael met in Wichita, Kansas, where they both worked for the
same company. Three years later, they were married on February 12, 1983, at
St. John's Lutheran Church by Pastor Merlyn Lohrke.
Because of Michael's work at a highway and bridge construction company,
the family moved many times.
When they were first married, they started out in Oklahoma and in 1985
were transferred to the Phoenix and Casa Grande, Arizona, area where they
lived until 1988. At that time they made the move back to Kansas where
they lived until 1991 when they made their most recent move to Guthrie,
Oklahoma. There they finally bought their first home, in which they live
now.
Matthew Wayne Campbell was born February 5, 1986, at Casa Grande, Arizona,
where he was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church by Pastor Ben Misch. Caitlin
Mae Campbell was born July 25, 1988, at Hutchinson, Kansas, where she was
baptized at Christ Lutheran Church by Pastor Mark B. Emel.
Nelda, Matthew and Caitlin now belong to Zion Lutheran Church in Guthrie,
Oklahoma, where Nelda helps with the Alter Guild and has helped with VBS.
