Publish in a newspaper
Imogene was born to Fred and Grace Geneva (Douglas) Eichen in Polk Township on January 5, 1928. She Married Orville Jacob "OJ. Doc" Emery on January 13, 1946. He preceded her in death on November 3, 1969.
She retired from the Carlinville Area Hospital Dietary Department, after working 20 years of dedicated and hard work, to spend more time with family and friends.
She was a member of the Rural United Methodist Church on the Standard City Road. She enjoyed making quilts for her children and other family members. She also loved gardening, doing word search books, and putting jig saw puzzles together which she was getting to become a real pro at both! But most of all, Imogene enjoyed and loved her family.
She is survived by sons Bob (Sharlyne) Emery of Carlinville, Fred (Vera) Emery of Carlinville, and daughter Frances Ann Emery of Carlinville (who was her care giver since age 17. Later, Frances would need more help with her mom's care and got assistance from hospice), daughters-in-law: Linda Emery of Carlinville and Elaine Bilbruck of Carlinville, several grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, spouse, four brothers (Harold, Willard, George, and Charles Eichen), three sons, (Charles, David, and Kenneth), one grandchild, and one great grandchild.
