Locust Grove
Imogene Ann Stafford, a cherished matriarch and devoted follower of Christ, passed away on February 17, 2026, in Locust Grove, Oklahoma, at the age of 87. Born on June 14, 1938, in Vinita, Oklahoma, Imogene was a beacon of love and support to her family and friends throughout her life.
Imogene's faith was a cornerstone of her existence; she was baptized into Christ on June 27, 1960, in Saline Creek and lived her life with unwavering devotion to her beliefs. Her nurturing spirit and selflessness endeared her to many, earning her affectionate names such as Sis, Jeannie, Sweetheart, Momma, Grandma, and Momma Jean. Through her actions and words, she exemplified the loyalty and commitment detailed in the book of Ruth, cultivating a legacy of love and care for those around her.
Imogene will be remembered for her fabulous meals, which brought family together and created lasting memories, as well as her spirited personality that added joy to every gathering. She cherished adventure, particularly family excursions across the country, where her adventurous spirit shone brightly. Her dedication to her family was unparalleled, and she demonstrated this through her lifelong commitment to ensuring that all her loved ones were cared for.
