Immogene lived a life filled with warmth, kindness, and unshakable faith.

She was known for her gentle spirit, her compassion, and her ability to make anyone feel welcome. Those who knew her would say she had one of the sweetest hearts and a life overflowing with the love of Jesus.

Her home was always a place of comfort, and her presence brought peace to those around her. Immogene cherished her family deeply, and her greatest joy came from watching her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren grow.

A Life Well Lived, Immogene’s legacy is one of faith, strength, and love. Her gentle wisdom, her soft-spoken encouragement, and her unwavering devotion to her family will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She touched countless lives simply by being herself—kind, patient, and full of grace.
