She was born June 3, 1937, in Madison, IL, to parents Elias "Wiley" and Wilma (Knuckles) Tucker who precedes her in death. Shortly after graduating from Des Arc High School, she married her high school sweetheart, Elmo Parker. Saved at the age of thirteen, Imogene became a child of God and served her Lord faithfully until her death. She was a charter member of Victory Baptist Temple in Piedmont, and was her husband's "right arm," supporting him as a pastor's wife for over sixty years. She was a lady of great integrity and conviction, never wavering to share her faith about the God she loved. Imogene was a loving wife and mother. Her joy was her family, as well as her church family. She was a wonderful homemaker, hostess, encourager, friend, and well known for her generous heart. She loved to crochet and cook. She truly left a Godly heritage! In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by one sister: Marie Janis; and great-granddaughter: Sienna Faith Miller.
