It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend, Ms. Madeline Campbell Artis. Madeline passed away Monday, November 18, 2024 at her residence in the Brocks Chapel Community while surrounded by her family. She was born in Marshall County, Alabama December 29, 1954. Her parents were Marion Augusta Campbell and Ruth Culbreath Campbell. Madeline was married to Marvin Junior Artis who passed away just eleven short months ago (DOD 12/09/2023).
Madeline was of the Baptist faith and a faithful member of Pine Ridge Baptist Church. She was extremely supportive of the church’s various ministries. She was particularly supportive of those involving the children. One could always count on her to be involved in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. Sharing those events with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren, were important to her. She especially enjoyed her weekly lunch date with her brother, Edwin, and was always ready for a road trip to Gulf Shores.
Family members Madeline leaves behind to cherish their memories include her sons, Kenneth Artis, (Holly) and Kevin Artis (Erin); brother, Edwin Campbell (Annette); grandchildren, Dylan Artis, Justin Artis, Zach Artis (Megan), Mackenzie Artis, and Danika Bybee; great grandchildren, Jackson, Kayden and Carter Artis.
Preceding Madeline in death: her husband, Marvin Artis, parents, Marion and Ruth Campbell and sister, Marianne Campbell.
