"A Mississippi native, Appleby went to OBU and Oklahoma State University. She was the first person to respond to the call to missions at Falls Creek Baptist Assembly. Oklahoma Baptist students will recognize Appleby as the namesake of the Appleby Society, a designation given to a registry of people who received their call to ministry at Falls Creek, maintained by the student ministry of Oklahoma Baptists. Our heritage of missions: The continuing legacy of Oklahoma Baptists serving as missionaries with the IMB - Baptist Messenger of Oklahoma 4 Rosalee Mills Appleby "Appleby surrendered to ministry under the preaching of J.W. Jent at Falls Creek in 1917," Holmes said. "After graduating from OBU, she was appointed to be an IMB missionary in Brazil in 1924 along with her husband David. While expecting their first child in 1925 her husband died in surgery in Brazil. Appleby chose to stay on the field in Brazil and worked with Brazilian Baptist Publishing House, writing Sunday School material, devotionals and more than 10 books. Her call to missions was stronger than the tragedy she endured in the loss of her husband. Her commitment and support from Oklahoma Baptists allowed her to stay in Brazil for decades."
