NEO establishes student fund in memory of Miami educator

To honor the life and legacy of Angie Douthit, the Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (NEO) Basketball program hosted  #Alwaysbekind Night on Thursday, Feb. 13, in the NEO Gymnasium.

NEO President Dr. Kyle J. Stafford presented the Douthit family with a plaque honoring Douthit and announced the establishment of the Angie Douthit Student Emergency Fund.

In addition to the $2,000 donation by NEO Presidential Partners, NEO raised $816 in donations at the door. The Miami High School Dance Team also performed a special routine during halftime of the men’s game in honor of Douthit.

Douthit passed away on Dec. 9, 2019, after a two-year battle with brain cancer. During her treatment, she inspired the nation with her relentless positivity on social media, often sharing the biblical passages and family experiences that motivated her daily life.

A beloved member of the community, she was as an educator in the Miami Public School System and author of “God’s Plan” and “Life with Mike.”
