This brick honoring Helen W. Reif is on the west side of the 95 Years and Planting sculpture at Mitch Park. The sculpture celebrates the 95th anniversary of Girl Scouts in the U.S., and was placed as part of the Oklahoma Centennial Celebration.
Helen W. Reif accomplished a lot in her lifetime. Not only was she a centenarian, but she was also the First Volunteer Girl Scout Commissioner of Oklahoma! I believe at that time it was the Redlands Council, which merged and is now part of the Girl Scouts Western Oklahoma Council.
A summary of her life can be found at this link:
