    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]

    Aaliyah Charlene Marie Campbell, 15, of Galesburg, and her unborn baby girl unexpectedly passed away on Thursday, September 7, 2023 at 4:13 a.m., at OSF. St. Mary’s Medical center in Galesburg.

    She was born on September 2, 2008, in Galesburg, the daughter of Jamie Campbell and Samantha Horne.

    Aaliyah was an outgoing and outspoken girl who always had a smile on her face. As any young girl, she enjoyed hanging out with her friends and listening to music of all kinds. She loved watching ASMR videos on TikTok in her free time. She adored the color pink and always enjoyed getting her nails done as well as dying her hair fun colors.  Aaliyah was also an avid animal lover, particularly when it came to cats. She would even put food and water out to befriend and take care of the stray cats in her neighborhood. Aaliyah was especially fond of spending time with her mother Sam and sister, as family was very important to her. Lately, they had been enjoying watching movies together at home. She and her family had also recently celebrated her 15th birthday together. Aaliyah was a very caring young woman who will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing her beautiful soul.

    Surviving are her parents, a sister, Marianna Jordan, three uncles, Angel and Daniel Lopez, and Mark Horne, two aunts, Elizabeth Horne and Rachel Lopez, and Grandfather, Mark Horne all of Galesburg. Also surviving are many beloved cousins and friends. Aaliyah is preceded in death by her brother and her other grandparents.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-story”]Andrea Jo Franklin, 35, of Bourbonnais, IL, went home to be with Jesus on March 7, 2025, following unexpected postpartum complications. She was born on August 11, 1989, in Watseka, IL. A beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, Andrea made everyone she came in contact with feel special.

    Andi graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with her bachelor’s degree in 2010 and Lasell University with her master’s in 2013. Later, she returned as a professor in the communication department at Olivet. She loved investing in her students, not just as a teacher, but as a mentor and encourager. Her heart for service extended beyond the classroom—she worked for many years in hospice care, offering comfort and presence in life’s hardest moments. She also served with Administer Justice, helping provide legal care to those in need within local communities. Andi’s life was filled with constant giving—of her time, her talents, and her heart.

    Andi lived with a heart wide open. She loved fiercely, laughed easily, and encouraged others with a sincerity that left an imprint on everyone she met. She was often described as compassionate, determined, and deeply faithful, not just in words but in the way she walked through life—meeting people where they were and lifting them up. She touched more lives than we will ever know, and to be loved by Andi was to be truly seen.

    Above all else, Andi loved being a mom. Her greatest joy was found in nurturing her children, filling their world with creativity, warmth, and stories. A captivating storyteller, she had a way of drawing people in, whether through the pages of a book, the lens of her camera, or the way she painted moments with words. She was an artist at heart, finding beauty in the everyday through watercolor painting and photography. She turned her love for capturing moments into a photography business, preserving memories not just for her own family, but for so many others.

    Andi could always be seen with a Polar Pop or McDonald’s Coke in hand, a small but perfect reflection of her easy going spirit. She had a way of making people feel at home, whether through deep conversations, infectious laughter, or the simple joy of sharing a meal. She will be remembered not only for what she did but for who she was—a light in the lives of so many. Though our hearts are shattered, we do not mourn without hope. We trust that Andi is in the presence of Jesus, and we will carry her love forward, honoring her legacy in the way we live, love, and serve others.

    Andi was preceded in death by her grandparents Andrew Hassen, Gloria Hassen, and Everett Knake. She is survived by her loving husband, Luke; their five beautiful children, Gabriel, Eliana, Graham, Victor, and Josie; her parents, Thomas and Judy McCann; her siblings, Kelly (Brett) Hull, Wade (Meagan) McCann, and Emily (Caleb) Parker; her niece and nephew, Audra and Nolan; her grandmother, Dorothy Knake. She also leaves behind a host of extended family members, in-laws, numerous nieces and nephews, dear friends, and students whose lives she touched.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
