Imogene Wright passed away peacefully on Saturday January 6, 2024. Imogene was born on July 22, 1933 in Fort Payne, AL, to the late Rev. Dow and Mertie Edwards. After marrying James “Corky” Wright on August 29, 1958, the two began a life devoted to their family, friends and community. Her boundless love and compassion for others was surpassed only by her unwavering love and devotion to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She faithfully served as a member of Minvale Baptist Church for nearly 40 years and on Saturday, her faith became sight.
