Sheila Gigger Driver, 28, of OKC; wife of Gregory Driver; mother of Shequandala
T Gigger; daughter of Sharon Williams of Oklahoma City and Curtis Henderson of
Antlers; sister of Daron Gigger; student, Langston University; Federal Employees
Credit Union customer.
Sheila Driver newlywed, 3 months pregnant, mother, and honor student was
deeply religious. Asked to describe his wife, Gregory Driver cited Proverbs 31:
She was a virtuous woman in every sense of the word.
The couple met at church in NE OKC 3 years ago (both attended Greater First
Deliverance Temple). The married May 14, 1994. Both Sheila and her husband
were homeroom parents at Eisenhower Elementary, where Sheilas daughter
Shequandala went to school. According to Sheilas childhood friend Mary
Williams, Sheila always stressed the importance of her African-American heritage
to her daughter, telling Shequandala, Youre mahogany brown. Youre beautiful.
Dont ever be ashamed of your color.
Mary considered Sheila a true friend, the kind one could call in the wee hours
to talk about worries or to pray with. Sheila had endured her own difficult
times, but it had begun to look like good times were ahead. Said Mary, She had
begun to be a finished product of God.
A graduate of Capitol Hill High School, Sheila was a full-time student in the
physical therapy program at Langston University, where she participated in the
College Work Study Program. Her classmate Andrea Clayton descried Sheila as
every teachers dream student an in-depth learner who pulled late nights at
the lab, read her assignments and notes over and over, and then discussed them
aloud to make sure she had synthesized them. In the 3 years she knew Sheila,
said Andrea, her friends quiet example led Andrea to the Lord.
Upon Sheila finishing at Langston, the familys plan was for Greg to attend
Cameron University and pursue an engineering degree. Greg says the two
were holding onto a vision of our life together, a vision of being prosperous
physically, spiritually, and financially. If his wife taught him any one
thing, says Driver, it was if one ventures out of faith, hell reach victory.
