Welcome to the celebration of the remarkable life of
Imogene Elizabeth Biggs

Imogene Elizabeth Biggs, née Larmond, passed away peacefully on May 2, 2024, at the age of 101, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Hathfield, Manchester, Jamaica, on August 14, 1922, Imogene was the cherished daughter of Gertrude Levy Larmond and Frederick Larmond. Growing up, Imogene was surrounded by her five siblings: Hubert, James, Larry, Rose, and Ivy. Each siblingadded to the rich tapestry of her early life experiences.

Imogene’s journey through life was marked by love, resilience, and dedication to her family. She married Arthur Biggs, who preceded her in death on November 13, 1975, and together they nurtured a beautiful family of seven children: Dacosta (Janet), Delores (Manley), Trevor (Aliza), Patrick (Joyce), Winston (Silvia), Winsome and Victor (Brigette). In addition to her own children, Imogene adopted and nurtured Novelette (Kenute) Francis, Tyrone Thompson and the late Pearl Crawford and Iceline Grant as her own.

In 1969, Imogene bravely embarked on a new chapter in her life, migrating to the United States to pursue a better life for her children. There, she worked tirelessly as a Certified Nursing Assistant, providing care and comfort to those in need. After years of hard work, she retired and returned home to Jamaica in 1989, where she became an active member of St. Mark’s Anglican Church and the community of Brown’s Town, St. Ann.

Imogene’s legacy extends far beyond her immediate family of 5 generations including chiildren, grands, great, great-great, and in-laws, totaling over 70, each touched by her warmth, wisdom, and unwavering love. Imogene was known for her caring nature, quick wit, and fierce advocacy for her beliefs and justice.

Though she may have left this world, Imogene’s spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her legacy of love, strength, and compassion will forever be cherished and remembered.
