Camela Elaine Midkiff, 61, of South Charleston, born on September 15, 1961, went to her heavenly home on November 2, 2022, after nearly a five-year courageous battle with cancer.
Camela worked in Kanawha County Schools for 20+ years and retired in 2018. When school wasn’t in session, she loved to travel the country with her husband on their motorcycle. She was a devoted wife, mother and Nan and always put her family first.
She is preceded in death by her parents, James & Katherine Walker and sister Genie Walker.
She is survived by her husband of 32 years, BJ Midkiff of South Charleston; daughters, Kandice (Roger) Campbell of South Charleston, Lacey Midkiff of South Charleston, and Chelsea (Christopher) Grogg of Monroe, OH; sister, Kimberly (Bruce) Harris of Hannah IN; brothers, Mitch (Betsy) Walker of Valparaiso, IN and Tim (Maggie) Walker of Anthem, AZ. She also left behind the joy of her life, three grandchildren whom she absolutely adored, Cole, Asher, and Ellie.
Service will be 1:00pm Saturday, November 5, 2022, at the North Charleston Apostolic Church, 2400 6th Ave, Charleston WV 25387 with Pastor Anthony Moss officiating. Family and friends will gather from 11:00am – 1:00pm at the church. Burial will follow at Graceland Memorial Park, South Charleston.

I was privileged to work with Camela while at Chamberlain Elementary. She was such a beautiful lady – very efficient and loved by the children and staff. My prayers and sympathy to all who are grieving.
Prayers for family and friends. We were neighbors for a couple of years and then shared a hospital room when she had her daughter Lacey.
Hugs and prayers for you all.
