Bio
Lola was born, the eldest daughter of Paul and Edith Knox, in Custer County. She was educated in a rural school in central Nebraska then graduated from Ansley High School. She began her teaching career when she was 17, in a one room school house with 15 students. Lola eventually graduated from the University of Nebraska in Kearney. She married Clifford Avey of Dunning, in 1936. They moved to Port Chicago, Calif., and that is where she met Christ. After Clifford’s death she attended and graduated from Bible Standard Training School (which is now New Hope Christian College). On July 3, 1945, Lola married Clifford Brown. They lived in Lexington, where Lola taught in the public school system, and together she and Clifford pastored at the South Side Mission in Lexington and a small church in Overton, then spent two years on the mission field in the Virgin Islands. In 1968 Lola and Clifford moved to Eugene, Ore. Lola continued her work as a teacher and librarian, this time at her former school, Bible Standard College, for a number of years. Upon retirement in 1980, the couple traveled to see friends and family until Clifford, her loving husband, passed away in 1982. The following year, Lola began Crossroad Ministry with Ywam in Hawaii then continued the ministry in the Philippines for 12 years. After coming home from the mission field, she made her home in Tacoma, Wash., near her daughter, Anne Newton. Lola later moved to Phoenix with Anne and her family. She eventually returned to Washington, living in Spokane at the home of her son, Paul Brown, until her passing.
