Roger L. Briggs

Roger married his high school sweetheart, Darlene Ann Krause, April 4, 1959 and they celebrated 51 years of marriage before she passed away, June 27, 2010. Roger served as a fire fighter for the Green Bay Fire Department for 30 years. His fellow fire fighters were his second family.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Darlene; an infant daughter, Lisa Ann Briggs; a son, Bradley C. Briggs; a brother, Everett (Marirose) Briggs Sr. and a sister, Janice (Richard) Resch.
Visitation will be held at Grace Lutheran Church (321 S. Madison St., Green Bay), Thursday, June 21, 2018 from 2 to 3:30 PM. A funeral service will follow at 3:30 PM with Pastor Julie Wrubbel-Lange officiating. Entombment will be in Fort Howard Memorial Park.
