LAS VEGAS (KLAS) - Loved ones are grieving for a woman who was stabbed and killed in her apartment in the east Las Vegas valley.

"She was an amazing person," Kimberly said. "Bubbly and loving, kind and caring."

Kimberly, who didn't want to share her last name, spoke with 8 News Now about 59-year-old Jodi Grotts, known to many as Jodi Campbell.

Grotts was stabbed to death Saturday inside her home on Dunsbach Way, near Lake Mead and Hollywood boulevards.

Friends and family, including Kimberly, told 8 News Now they are now dealing with overwhelming grief they never expected.

They described Grotts as a "fairy-like soul" who was the glue that kept her whole family together.

"This could have all been avoided, I believe," she said.
