The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 6:00 to 7:00 pm on Friday, June 15, 2018. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home.
Alicia was born June 5, 1968 in Enid, to Price Campbell and Sue Lukenbaugh Arnold, and passed away surrounded by her family on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 in Oklahoma City, due to complications from Cystic Fibrosis.
Alicia graduated from Enid High School with the class of 1986, then attended classes at Phillips University for a short period before beginning her career at what was then Liberty Federal Savings and Loan. She met her future husband Jeff Taylor in 2000, and they were married September 22, 2001 in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Due to Alicia’s lifelong struggles with Cystic Fibrosis, she and Jeff were not able to have children of their own, so they instead opened their hearts and home to 14 foster children, eventually adopting their two sons from the foster care system. Alicia’s greatest joy was her family, her children, and her little Yorkie LuLu.
Alicia is preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Lloyd and Aletha Lukenbaugh; paternal grandparents, Grover and Verena Campbell; an aunt, Doris Klemme; and father in law, Frank Gosnell, Jr. She is survived by her husband, Jeff Taylor, of the home in Enid; two sons, Brandon and Elliott; mother, Sue Arnold and husband Brian, of Enid; father, Price Campbell and wife Alice, of Guthrie; mother in law, Sydney Gosnell, of Enid; father in law, Joseph Taylor of Boaz, AL; sister in law Melissa Taylor, of Cincinnati, OH; as well as numerous cousins and other family and friends.
Memorials in Alicia’s name may be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home serving as custodian of the funds.
