Laurie Lynn Campbell, 64 of Great Falls, passed away peacefully on October 17th, 2022, with her family by her side. A Memorial Service will be held at Antioch Church in Great Falls on Saturday, October 29 at 10am. 

Laurie was born on October 21st, 1957 in San Diego, CA. She was one of the three daughters born to Dale and Ida (Sauke) Johnson. Though born in California, Laurie was raised in Simms, Fort Shaw and Cascade, MT. She attended local schools, graduating from Cascade High School in 1976. One evening while at Bert and Ernie’s in Great Falls, Laurie met the love of her life, Brian Campbell. The young couple were married in Cascade, MT on August 25th, 1979; They shared 43 years of marriage and one son.

Laurie Campbell, my mother, was priceless. She lived to serve her family and Jesus.  She was a wonderful partner to my father, a caring mother, an amazing grandmother to her three grandkids, and a compassionate leader. She lived to honor God and died with no regrets. To her last breath, her greatest desire was to do God’s work in loving others and helping them find their way back to God. She not only talked the talk, but she also walked the walk. Everyone that knew Laurie was better for it.

Laurie pastored Gateway Church, in Agoura Hills, CA, for 25 years with her husband, Brian. She was an accomplished musician, leading worship, directing and singing in musicals, singing and playing guitar for a bluegrass band called Simon Pure, and so much more.

Laurie is survived by her loving husband Brian, son Justin, daughter-in-law Sarah, grandkids Eli, Evie and Caleb, sisters Kim and Toni.

She lived by Psalm 16:11, “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.”
