ROSALIE BRIGGS FERGUSON, 85, passed peacefully into the eternal Kingdom on November 27, 2010 surrounded by her family. She is preceded in death by her parents Clinton G. Briggs and Viola Briggs and brother Clinton G. Briggs Jr. She is survived by her husband Dr. Lloyd R. Ferguson, children Lloyd Ray Ferguson Jr. and wife Tomi and Randall Lee Ferguson and wife Phyllis. She is also survived by her grandchildren Megan Jane Ferguson, Brandon Todd Ferguson and Clinton Alexander Ferguson as well as her brother Kenneth G. Briggs.

Rosalie met her future husband of 65 years at Howard Payne College in Brownwood, Texas where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education. She subsequently received a Masters of Education degree from Texas Christian University in her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.

Mrs. Ferguson was a retired school teacher teaching in the Alvin and Dickinson school districts as well as Alvin Community College. She completed her teaching career as a home bound teacher in the Clear Creek ISD. One of her greatest accomplishments was guiding and mentoring high school students towards a high school diploma who would not have graduated without her skills and encouragement.

Upon her retirement from teaching, she became active in Pearland as a volunteer for many organizations including First United Methodist Church, Clean Pearland, Lioness Club and the Delphian society. She authored the first book on the history of Pearland and donated copies to most of Pearland's original families.

She and her husband were instrumental in the growth and success of Pearland State Bank and First National Bank of Alvin. She proudly served as Secretary of the board of directors of Pearland State Bank and Coastal Bancshares, Inc. for many years.

The family will host a visitation at Clayton Funeral Home, 5530 W. Broadway, Pearland, Texas on Tuesday, November 30 from 5:30-7 p.m. A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, December 1, 2010 at 2 p.m. at First United Methodist Church, 2314 N. Grand Blvd., Pearland, Texas. Immediately after the service a reception will be held at Pearland State Bank.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances can be made to the ministry programs at First United Methodist Church or the charity of your choice.
