Mrs. Ford, 91, of Causeyville Community passed away peacefully, Sunday, September 20, 2020, at her residence.

Imogene was a graduate of Whynot High School, and upon graduation, married the love of her life, Johnnie Earl Ford.  They were both members of Coker’s Chapel United Methodist Church, Meridian MS, a church her grandfather and family were among the founding members. She was a beautiful, kind, giving and loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, “Mamaw”, and friend.  She was always full of joy and smiles, putting others before herself, and was a model of living within the grace of Christ. She walked a path deeply rooted in Faith and Prayer. She was a member of Coker's Chapel Caring Hands, a member of the Choir for over 40 years, served on various Church committees, and worked the Causeyville voting polls until she was 90 years old; all-the-while, keeping the books for Fourth Day Ministries.

Survivors include her son Johnnie Ford and his wife Kristi; granddaughters Traci Hager, husband Scott, Erin Scharmen, husband Dustin; grandson John Tyson “Ty” Ford, wife Hillary; great grandsons Cameron Hager, Ethan Hager, Ford Scharmen, Rhett Scharmen, Bryson Yates, Tyler Ford, Levi Ford and several nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Johnnie Earl Ford and her parents, Leroy and Lessie Smith.

The family requests memorials be made as donations in lieu of flowers to her grandson’s ministry or Coker’s Chapel United Methodist Church.
