She then began working at Butler Hospital and later became the first Bates County health nurse. The saddest day of Lela?s life besides losing Billy Dean was the death of her beloved husband Bill after a long battle with cancer. Lela married Robert Campbell; their marriage was blissful yet short-lived. Robert preceded Lela in death. Lela married Virgil Barnett on June 18, 1986.

Her dear sister Evelyn Campbell of Marshall, Missouri also survives Lela. Lela?s beloved daughter Delores Jean preceded her in death at the young age of 55. Her grandchildren, Kim, Jana, DeAnn, Mark, Darrin, Brooke, and Dana will always hold their ?Nana? close to their hearts. The grandchildren are grateful for her ability to shape their lives. Lela also was a busy great-grandmother to 19 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandson.
