In the fall of 1943, the community of Oxford, Indiana, was blessed with its newest member. Anna Louise Whitesell was born (November 6th, 1943, in Lafayette, Indiana.) Growing up on a small diverse farm, she and her sister Sue, were an unstoppable duo. The farm was occupied and owned by their grandparents, Earl and Myrtle (Greene) Whitesell, Robert and Doris (Buttle) Whitesell, of course "the unstoppable duo", and their brother, Timothy. Graduated from Oxford High School in 1961 and found work in a doctor's office in Lafayette.
Anna's older sister, Sue, was in the Army and stationed in the Pentagon. Sue helped Anna find a place to live and work in Washington, D.C. so off she went on her grand adventure. Anna was invited to a party the very first night in Washington, D. C. She and her roommate were picked up by Frankie L. Campbell along with a complete car full to go to the party. Anna wasn't much for drinking and smoking cigarettes and wanted to go ahead and head back to her new shared apartment. Bus schedule in hand, big new city outside, she nervously started getting ready to leave, but before she could open the door, Frankie asked where she thinks she was going. She stated, "Home." He said, "I brought you; I will take you home." Anna was so relieved. Frankie started calling on Anna everyday and were married December 7th, 1962. That's how her grand adventure started.
Anna was received into the hands of our lord God in the early morning hours on June 14th, 2026.
