She was the only daughter of Christopher John Hamilton and Imogene Truett Hamilton was born in Lafayette, LA on December 9, 1923 and raised in Port Arthur. With determination and a life-long goal, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Accounting in 1982 at the age of 58, and then earned her Master of Science in Accounting in 1985 at the age of 61. She then began and developed a successful tax and bookkeeping business, which thrived and was sold years later. Imogene was a lifetime member and on the board of many associations. Those associations included Beta Sigma Phi in Beaumont and La Porte for more than fifty years, the La Porte-Bayshore Heritage Society from its organization in 1978, the Friends of the La Porte Library Board for sixteen years, the committee overseeing the building of the current Harris County Library La Porte Branch Library building, and the La Porte Bayshore Garden Club. She was also part of the group that organized the original La Porte Main Street Association in 1983 and was active in that support group for many years. Over the years Imogene developed a passion for family history. After doing extensive research, she became a member, and at times board member, of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, War of 1812, and Daughters of the Confederacy. In recent years she made family scrapbooks for her great-granddaughters and published family history books of John’s and her ancestors. At a later date she will be buried in the Truett family cemetery, a Texas historical cemetery. In lieu of flowers contributions to an animal shelter of your choice would be appreciated.
