Imogene Ozmint Allred Terry, affectionately known as "Mimi", age 95, of Iva, SC, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 16, 2021, at Cottingham Hospice House with her family by her side.
Born October 29, 1925, in Iva, she was a daughter of the late Joseph Hoyt Ozmint and Mittie Rice Ozmint. She was also preceded in death by her first husband, James E. "Jim" Allred; second husband, Amos M. Terry; daughter, Debbie Patterson; brothers, Ed and Bill Ozmint; sister, Frances Jones Bryant; and two step children. She was the oldest and last surviving member of her immediate family.

She was an active and faithful member of First Baptist Church of Iva as long as her health permitted. She was formerly a Sunday School teacher, WMU director, and church clerk. Imogene had an infectious personality and she never met a stranger. Everyone who met her instantly fell in love with her.
