Elizabeth McClure Imwold, 91, passed away peacefully Wednesday, January 23, 2019 at Quality Health in Fernandina Beach, Fla.
She was born May 1, 1927 in Columbus, Ga. to Thomas David McClure and Ollie Lee Branton McClure. She was the sixth of 12 children.
The family moved many times during the Depression as her father sought work, finally settling in Jacksonville Beach, Fla., where Beth attended Fletcher High School. After living briefly in Atlanta, Ga. and California, she returned to Jacksonville Beach, where she met James A. Imwold on a blind date in May 1954. They were married in October of that year and lived in Valdosta, Ga. for four years before moving to Atlanta, where they raised their three daughters. Jim’s career eventually had them moving to Chicago for several years before they retired to Amelia Island.
Through company trips Jim earned, Beth and Jim traveled the world, visiting much of Europe plus China, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as Mexico, the Caribbean, and Hawaii.
Jim passed away in 1997, but Beth is survived by her daughters, Lisa Imwold Reese (Brad), Dana Imwold Dalton (Frank), and Amy Imwold Anderson; grandchildren, Kayleigh Dalton, Kyle Dalton (Laura), and Andrew Dalton; and a great-granddaughter, Charlotte Dalton. She is also survived by sisters, Jane Tibbs of Jacksonville, Pat Nash of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Gloria Youngblood Scott of Fernandina Beach.
The family will hold a private memorial service.
