Imogene was a ball of fire always anxious to spread her joy. Her knowledge of the history of Vega and its folks was immense and very interesting to me. She had been the news paper editor/owner just before I arrived and just before Quincy Taylor took the reins. We will all definitely miss her dedication to making Vega, Texas, the best place on earth to live.
R.I.P. Imogene
Our deepest sympathies to Imogene’s family. We enjoyed Imogene so much over the years-such a friendly woman! All of Vega will miss her. ♥
Will miss the freindly face, and good conversation. So much of Oldham county past that will not be shared. Loved our talks. Thanks for sharing.
She had so much to offer our community and all with a smile. Her love for flowers and plants and her ability to grow them was remarkable. She will be missed. God bless her family!
Will miss seeing you when I go to Vega. I am happy to know that the angels will be getting bicycles from you though.
Condolences to the Galbraith family. In my mind, I will always think of Imogene riding her trike around Vega. God’s peace to her family. She is now home.
May she rest in peace. She will be dearly.
My deepest sympathy to Arnold, Charlotte and the rest of your family. Your Mom always had a smile for me. She was sincere and genuine and gracious in every situation and with everyone. May God bless you during this most difficult time.
Thoughts and prayers to you all.
