Earlie Mae (nee: Martin) Briscoe, age 78, was born on January 16, 1942, in Taylor, MS, to Kermit and Mae Etta (nee: Fondren) Martin.  She answered the Call of her Lord and Savior on Saturday, July 11, 2020, at her residence.

Earlie received her formal education in Oxford, MS, where she attended Central High School.

In 1963, Earlie relocated to Racine, WI.  In 1964, she was united in holy matrimony to Robert Wesley Briscoe, Jr.  To this union four (4) children were born.

Earlie accepted Christ as her Savior at an early age in Taylor, MS. After relocating to Racine, she soon united with St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church, where she was a longtime, dedicated member.  She attended church faithfully and served in the Pastor's Helpers Ministry for over 25 years. Earlie was a woman who loved God and enjoyed going to church.  She served the Lord with a smile on her face and joy in her heart.

She was employed by Jacobsen Textron as a Punch Press Operator for over 20 years before retiring.  After retiring from Jacobsen, Earlie worked for many years for the US Postal System, a job that she loved dearly.

In her leisure time, she enjoyed traveling to Dallas, TX; working in her garden and attending Family Reunions.  She valued the quality time she spent with her family and friends.
