Aunt "Imie" with my daughter, Aubrey...1985My aunt Imogene passed away yesterday morning.
She was my dad's sister.
I didn't get down to Seminole to visit her too often...not nearly as often as I'm sure she would have liked.
She really loved my son. When Stacie was going to college and needed someone to watch him she was always more than happy to do it.
For Christmas, every single year, she would give us boxed chocolates. The cheap kind. Always the same brand until last year when the store stopped selling it. We never ate any of them. But, of course, she didn't know that. It was actually very endearing to us. The holiday would come around and we'd say, "Okay, let's go to aunt Imie's and get our chocolates!"
I don't have too many memories of her. I know she used to organize bus tours for her and her friends to go to Vegas and gamble. This was long before the casinos began opening here in Oklahoma. By that time she had lost interest in anything more than a hand held electronic poker game.
Not much to say, I guess. It's sad but on the other hand I know she was in a lot of pain for some time. She lived a good, long life. I know she's in a better place.
