Imogene A. Holt

Imogene A. Minton Holt, 89, died this week at Heritage Living Center where she has been a resident for over a year. She was born in Conway on Sept. 29, 1921 to Lucy and Dr. H.L. Minton, professor of Geography for many years at the University of Central Arkansas (formerly, Arkansas State Teachers College). She was predeceased by her husband of 20 years, Joseph H. Holt. She graduated from ASTC, and earned a masters degree in music at Columbia University in New York. In her professional life she taught music and reading in Georgia and in various cities in Texas, finally settling in Lubbock, Texas. While there she also served as church organist at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. She returned to Conway from Lubbock to care for her parents in their last years and allow them to be at home to the end. She made a life in Conway through her service to others as a member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church and other organizations. At her recent birthday she received over 75 cards from friends and family whose lives she has touched with her generosity. She received care to the end from her sister Patsy Newton of Conway, and loving attendance from her sister Sarah Williams of Austin, Texas, and brother, H.L. Minton, Jr. of Memphis, Tenn. She is survived by her loving son, the Rev. Dr. Joseph H. Holt of San Francisco, and his wife, Paula, who is deeply grateful for her life, numerous nieces and nephews, and Paula's son Michael Tobin.
