ATMORE - Miss Imogene Brantley, 98, a retired teacher and faithful member of the First United Methodist Church of Atmore died Monday at 5 a.m. at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Fla.
Her parents, Henry H. Brantley and Eugenia Betts Brantley and a sister, Mary E. Brantley preceded her in death.
Survivors include, two nieces, Joyce Brantley of Pensacola, Fla. and Louise Vernon of Dallas, Texas; a cousin, Sara Paggett of Canoe and leaves a host of friends.
She was a native of Conecuh County and attended Alabama College of Montevallo and Troy University where she received her bachelor's degree.
Miss Brantley taught school in Conecuh and Talladega Counties for nine years before coming to Atmore where she taught 3rd grade for 33 years before retiring. She was active in school, church and civic affairs. She was a member of the Atmore Garden Club, served four years as a United Fund Director and served as Trustee for the First United Methodist Church and at one time served directing the Primary Choir. She was a faithful member and teacher of the Agape Sunday School class and a local chairperson of the Wesley Manor at Dothan. She was honored with a life Membership in the United Methodist Women, supporter of the United Methodist Children's Home in Selma, the Atmore Public Library and was an avid reader as a subscriber of four newspapers. She was also a supporter of the Atmore Historical Society.
In February of this year she presented the First United Methodist Church with a new electronic Digital Allen Organ in memory of her sister, Mary E. Brantley. Several years ago she and her sister, Mary, created a trust for the Puryearville cemetery's upkeep and maintenance, located near Burnt Corn in Monroe County.
Her influence will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, especially in the lives of her former students. Her motto was "100 years from now, it won't matter what car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in my bank account, nor what my clothes looked like, but the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child."
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. today, Aug. 13, 2008 at the First United Methodist Church at 311 S. Pensacola Ave. with the Rev. Dr. John Brannon, the Rev. Dan Rhodes and the Rev. Jim Reece officiating. Graveside services will be held in the Puryearville cemetery at 12:30. Visitation will be held at 10 a.m. today, Wed. Aug. 13, 2008.
