We lost this lovely lady at the young age of 87 this past Sunday. She was my favorite, and she was one of my children's favorites, too. When I was two, I spent a week with her while my mom had surgery, and the big joke was my vocabulary expanded while staying with her. She inadvertently taught me my first swear word, and I used it correctly back at home when I got frustrated with a toy. She got me out of trouble by negotiating a deal in which I promised to never say the word again. It became a longstanding joke.
Our Aunt Imogene had many talents but excelled at being a maker - sewing, knitting, crocheting, etc. She literally could make anything, and our home is proud to showcase many of her works. She had a spark in her eye, a quick laugh and broke from convention in ways that were endearing (she drove a motorcycle in the 1970's).
She will be greatly missed.
