She was born in Jackson County, January 13, 1938, the daughter of the late Mance and Prudy Ferguson Allman. She married Ronald "Gene" Hammond on January 31, 1953, and he survives.
Imogene loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Holidays, especially Christmas time, were very meaningful to her, because it was a time for everyone to spend time together. She enjoyed listening to country music, reading, spending time with friends, and she loved to go shopping. She also enjoyed going hiking before her health prevented her from doing it anymore. Imogene attended Elizabethtown United Methodist Church previously, and was employed at Columbus East High School in the cafeteria for over 20 years.
