"I'Giny," as she was known by her family and friends, was born on September 13, 1930 in Conroe, Texas. I'Giny was a refreshing and compassionate person who was willing to donate her time and energy to just about anyone that asked. I'Giny's "light" shown wherever she went and she was loved by many.
One of I'Giny's primary passions was her church, St. Luke's Episcopal Church where she served on The Alter Guild, Daughters of the King, and worked weekly at the church's Green Door Thrift Shop.
I'Giny attended Baylor University where she met her first husband, Ben Binford. I'Giny and Ben settled in San Antonio and started an insurance agency, BSM Insurance.

While her children were in elementary school, I'Giny was very active in the Parent Teacher Association PTA and served as President of the Sunset Hills Colby Glass Elementary School PTA for many years. Because of this commitment, she was awarded a rare lifetime membership in the PTA. I'Giny was very active in the Floribunda Garden Club. I'Giny was also an avid bridge player and loved to play almost any card game. She played a mean game of cribbage. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Benjamin Riley Binford, Sr. and her second husband Fred W. Burtner.
