Ima Jean Brockett, known to many as Imo, Mammy or Mimi, was a beautiful soul that expressed her love through creation. From bird houses to quilts, paintings to stitching, and pies to breakfast her love was seen and felt in everything she made. She had a passion for the world, for nature, for life and for love. Most knew her as a housewife, but she was more than that, a farmer, a model, a seamstress, an artist, a baker, a chef, a mother, a grandmother, loved by all who knew her. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family playing games, telling stories and eating watermelon!
Survived by her loving husband, Kenneth (Pete) Brockett of 60 years, two daughters Kim Marmon and husband William and Monica Brockett and partner Leslie Russell; one sister Gypsy McMullen of Pueblo, Colorado and one brother James Christler Decker, Jr. of Big Spring; three grandchildren Ranee Gray, Justin Gray and James Taylor, Jr and nine great grandchildren and her beloved pup “Tilly”.
