Lorenzo Briscoe

Lorenzo Briscoe, age 88, of Cabot was called Home by the Heavenly Father on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. He was born on September 23, 1938, in England, Arkansas, the fifth child of Frank and Lucille Briscoe, but he grew up in Little Rock and North Little Rock, attending Jones High School. Lorenzo started working at a very early age, working a variety of jobs. He started as a busboy/dishwasher and later worked doing alteration in menswear, sales at a pawn shop, delivery of wholesale produce, beer, soda, and bread. He even briefly worked at General Motors Assembly plant in Fremont, CA. He then landed his favorite job at Hostess Cake.

In 1972 Hostess Cake transferred him to Oakland, CA, where he worked until his retirement in 1995, working his way up from route sales to district supervisor. When he wasn't working or spending time with his family, he was on the golf course. After he retired, he played golf nearly every day all over Northern California. He took the time to volunteer with the local junior golf program in Oakland, helping young people find the joy in the game that he loved so much. In 2003 it was time to return to his roots and move back to Arkansas, where he would continue to play golf nearly everyday, when his health would allow. The best decision he ever made was on January 19, 2014 when he accepted Jesus as his Savior and was baptized, thus securing his Home in Heaven.

Lorenzo is survived by his wife of 54 years, Marilyn (Rector) and his children; Rose (John) O'Quinn, Stephanie (Rick) Bennett, Coy (Mary) Briscoe, Donna Briscoe, Lorenzo Ashley (Cassie) Briscoe, and Heath Briscoe. His brother; Vernon (Bernice) Briscoe. His sisters; Juanita Stewart, Theresa Linton, and Joan Warren. His grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at Cabot Church of Christ. Visitation will begin at 10:00 AM with the funeral to follow at 11:00 AM. The funeral service will be available online at cabotchurch.com Youtube. Burial will be at Rest Hills Memorial Park in North Little Rock.

The family wishes to thank the staff at DaVita Springhill for their excellent care during the two years of dialysis and the staff of Baptist Home Health Hospice for making Lornezo's final days so comfortable.
