Imogene Jewell Hart Boyd 83 years old passed away peacefully holding the hand of the man she loved deeply for 62 years her husband Thomas Legier Boyd. Imo was the beloved mother of two sons two daughters three grandsons and two granddaughters. Imo was the last child and only daughter born to Edith Mae Hart and Thomas Boyd on April 2nd 1928 in Evansville Indiana. Imo was preceded in death by both of her parents and also her three brothers Lloyd Hart of Evansville Indiana Huebert Hart of Greenfield Indiana and Noble Hart of Flint Michigan. Imo's vibrant personality and quick wit was a direct result of growing up with three older brothers all who served in World War II while she was in attendance at Rietz High School. Upon graduation from high school Imo moved to Seattle Washington to join her cousin as an Overseas Telephone Operator connecting the transpacific phone calls from military abroad back home in the United States. She spent many weeknights and weekends dancing at the USO. Imo later returned to Evansville and met the love of her life Tom Boyd a World War II Veteran and they were married 6 weeks later. Before they began their family Tom re-enlisted in the Army as a military trainer during the Korean War and they re-located to the Panama Canal Zone. They returned to the US when Imogene became pregnant with their first child Scott Irv Boyd. In quick secession Imo bore three more children daughter Vickie Lynne Schroeder son Dennis Keith Boyd and daughter Teresa Boyd Wright. In 1961 Tom was transferred by Standard Oil of New Jersey to Benghazi Libya to develop the oil fields in the Sahara and Imo followed with their family. When later asked by her children why she would take four young children into an un-settled exotic and hostile land she would answer ""I would follow your Daddy anywhere."" The Boyd family returned to the US in the mid-1960's relocating to Ohio in the late 1960's. Imo assisted Tom in the development of his oil field companies while also cultivating a talent for golf and gardening. Tom and Imogene retired to Port Orange Florida in 1982. Imogene leaves a legacy of unmatched wit and charm and continual positive outlook believing the best in everyone she met. There are so many stories to tell of her courage and strength through adventures and mis-adventures. She will be missed greatly by her extended family and friends but her antics will live on through the cherished stories that are the celebration of her life.
