Oklahoma Emergency Management Association

Services will be at 10:00, Tuesday, May 17, at the Red River Cowboy Church, 1001 N. Byers Avenue, Mangum, Oklahoma, followed by a brief graveside ceremony at the Riverside Cemetery, also at/near Mangum.

Emergency Management personnel are requested to meet at the church between 9:00 and 9:15 if possible.  Due to a designated seating area for EM personnel, and limited overall seating, they are asking that we (EM’s) sit as a group in the identified special area, although spouses or others who attend with us will be in the “general seating” area.

Marked Emergency Management vehicles will be included in the procession to the cemetery, leading the hearse, and therefore will be parked in a special designated parking area.  If driving an unmarked or personal vehicle, please use the “general parking” area.  There will be a local POC to direct EM vehicles to the appropriate parking area upon arrival.  “Local” public safety vehicles will be following the hearse, EM will be leading. 

Other traffic control for the area of the church is being coordinated by local law enforcement.

 There is an “Open Visitation” at the Greer Funeral Home, 235 S. Pennsylvania Avenue, Mangum, OK, Monday from 8 AM to 8 PM.  This is “closed casket”, and no family members will be present.

 Communications assistance for those coming into town and wishing to access it will be established on:
