Kathleen B.

Briggs

Kathleen B. Briggs, 90, of Blanchard, died October 2, 2012 at VA Medical Center in Oklahoma City. The daughter of Mable and Clyde Briggs, she was born October 10, 1921 in Avant, Oklahoma on an oil lease where her dad worked.

Kathleen served in the U.S. Army Air Corps, mostly in Europe, and was discharged on October 17, 1945. She then attended South Western Bible College for only a semester because she knew she was to preach the gospel. She met her co-worker and best friend Myrtle Adamson just before going to school at Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Together they pastored four churches and worked many years with Kid Kamps for delinquent boys and girls. She was licensed to preach with the Assemblies of God in 1953. Kathleen was the president of Women's Ministry of the Arkansas District for 3 years. After her co-worker Myrtle died in November 2002, she moved to Oklahoma to be with Myrtle's family. Kathleen had a good life and still loved the Lord and those around her. She never lost her zeal to serve the Lord.

Kathleen is preceded in death by her parents; one brother; one sister; and best friend and co-worker, Myrtle Adamson.

Kathleen is survived by her extended family, Pauline Adamson, Bob and Gloria Adamson and family, Roy and Connie Brooks and family and Jeanette McKinney and family; special friends Ann Russell, Wimp White and Shelly Mitchell, all of Blanchard; and many other relatives and friends.
