Anna Louise (Campbell) Lively passed away at age 59 on April 24, 2018, in Kansas City, Missouri. She was born November 30, 1958, to Rolland and Myra Campbell in Lynnwood, Washington, and graduated with the Class of 1977 from Mountlake Terrace High School. As a child, she was given the nickname “Daisy”, which she was known by for nearly 30 years. Anna was married to Thaddeus William Callaghan (1978-1995), and Carlos Dale Lively (1997-present). Anna was predeceased by her father, Rolland R. Campbell; and brother, Robert Dale Campbell. She is survived by former husband, Thaddeus Callaghan; their daughters, Jennifer Lynn Campbell, Cynthia Louise Bates, Rebecca LeeAnn Kamerer, and Amy Lorraine Nielsen; and son, Timothy James Lively.

Also surviving are her mother, Myra Campbell; brothers, Darrell Campbell and Douglas Campbell; sisters, Christy Solorio and Cathy Gillman; and numerous grandchildren, one of whom, Jessica Roosa, was being raised by Anna. Anna loved her native Pacific Northwest. She appreciated nature and noticed the beauty in the world around her. She enjoyed gathering her family around the campfire and singing together. Fond of animals, she had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and goats as pets. Occasionally she would create a mini petting zoo for children to enjoy. Anna will be remembered as a gifted cake decorator who made lovely wedding and birthday cakes for generations of family and friends. She passed along her talents in the kitchen to several of her children. Anna cherished her large family and never missed an opportunity to talk about the dozens of grandchildren she adored so much. She was a mother-figure to many, and a dear friend to everyone she met. Anna was a true disciple of Christ. She loved her Savior and strove to treat others the way she believed He would. She had a giving heart and was always willing to contribute her time and resources to help others. Her unceasing faith in the Savior sustained her through many trials. Anna’s dedication to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ will stand as her crowning legacy. Please leave memories of Anna or condolences for her family in the Guestbook below.
