Dorothy Imogene Hulsey

It would be wrong to say that Imogene lost her battle because she never stopped fighting. No matter how sick she was, she was always determined. When anyone else would have broken, Imogene stayed strong. Through her, we know what resilience and perseverance really look like. Just because she is not here does not mean she lost her fight.

Dorothy Imogene Morgan was born on August 7, 1939 in Lee County, Texas to Harold and Yolan Morgan. Imogene was the oldest of 6 children, she had 4 sisters and 1 brother. Imogene was a loving wife to Johnny "Rudy" Phillips until his passing in 1983. Imogene and Rudy had 3 children, Steve, Beverly and David. In 1986 Imogene became a loving wife to Thomas Hulsey and was married to him until she received her wings.

Imogene loved her family very much and was always having gatherings at her home to have everyone together. She became a nurse in 1979 and worked in that profession until she retired in 2012. She was a woman with a heart and the compassion to care for those that were sick. She worked in a few different hospitals in the Pasadena, Texas area where she was loved and greatly respected.
