     Mother Imegene was truly the “Matriarch and Queen” of her family.  She loved her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family, church family, neighbors, and friends.  Essentially, she was a caring person who raised several of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren along with raising 5 children, “just doing her motherly duties”. Mother Imegene was very special-- loving, kind, hardworking--no nonsense person, inside and out to everyone she met.  She was a devoted and contributing citizen of Union Springs/Bullock County.  Mother Imegene exemplified the characteristics of the Virtuous Woman described in Proverbs 31.

           “Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?  She is more precious than rubies.         

              She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.

              When she speaks, her words are wise and she gives instructions with kindness.

               Her children stand and Bless her.  Her husband praises her.

               There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass

                  Them all.

                Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the

                 Lord will be greatly praised.

                 Reward her for all she has done.  Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.”

                 Proverbs 31: 10, 20, 26, 28, 30, 31.

     The staff of Poe’s Memory Chapel Funeral Home is honored to provide funeral services for the family of  Mother Imegene Pugh Davis. May God Bless, Strengthen, and Comfort her family and friends, as they walk in the legacy and love of your faithful servant, is our humble prayer.
