I remember when I played softball as a young girl, playing against her team the FIREFLIES. Thats the years I started to love the game. I hated batting against her daughter. Years later my oldest daughter, Lorrie, played for the Fireflies with John as coach.My prayers are with the family.

Very sorry to read of the passing of such a sweet lady. We were invited in her home for several holiday events. We were new grandparents and our daughter in law was Aunt Imo's niece. While at her home, Imo made sure we felt welcome & never lacked for anything. We were allowed to watch our Grandson Dayton hunt eggs with all of his Foutch Cousins. This memory is so precious to us. I know Imo's family will miss her beyond words. She was a light that was shining in a sometimes very dark world. R.I.P. Sweet Imo

I had the privilege of doing this sweet lady's hair but I knew her long before that. Fern Whitlock was a friend not only to me but the hundreds of boys and girls that ever played one of the greatest games ever "Baseball ". Her love for baseball was one of a kind but her love and dedication to her family was overwhelming!!!! I will always remember her smile and many acts of kindness. She was truly one of a kind!!! I have so many memories over the last couple of years with her and we both loved the Texas Rangers and she even called me at home and we had a wonderful conversation about several of their games. I have had nothing but the highest respect for her. Fern I will truly miss you every Friday and will hold you in my heart and memories for the rest of my life!!! I am blessed beyond words and am heart broken that your gone. But I look forward to seeing you again in Heaven!!!! R I P Fern. May Gods loving arms bring peace and comfort to your family and many friends.
