Collinsville Dolton Funeral Home: Edith Riggs (December 29, 1923 - June 30, 2008).Funeral services will be 10am Thursday, July 3, 2008 at the Collinsville Baptist Tabernacle Church From Thursday July 3, 2008 Tulsa World: Collinsville— Doris Sue Loyd, 66, homemaker, died Tuesday. No services planned. Collinsville Dolton Funeral Home.

Tom Seale (Pastor of Collinsville's Meadowcreek United Methodist Church), passed away this morning of a heart attack. The entire congregation has lost a wonderful pastor and a dear friend. The funeral will likely be Monday. The planning is still going on now. District Superintendent, Maurice Majors, will give the sermon on Sunday. The last thing the pastor mentioned on Sunday was gearing up for the back to school drive. We are hoping to raise $10,000.00 to purchase all the necessary supplies for students whose families cannot purchase their supplies. We will continue that ministry.
Thank so much! -- Linda Wilson (Tuesday 7/1/2008 7:30pm)
