Imogene Amelia (Racine) Lahee

Imogene Amelia (Racine) Lahee, 92, passed away on September 27, 2026, at Linda E. White Hospice House in Evansville, Indiana.

She was born on July 13, 1934, to the late Henry C. and Johanna (Fischer) Racine of Evanston and was baptized at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Evanston, Indiana. Imogene was a 1952 graduate of Chrisney High School and was a member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church. She retired from General Electric after 45 years of dedicated service.

Imogene found joy in the simple beauty of life, especially gardening and taking in the beautiful landscape God created. She often shared stories of walking to school in the snow, giving her family a glimpse into the experiences and memories that shaped her life. She treasured time with her family above all else and found great happiness in the moments they shared together. The memories she made with those she loved will remain a cherished part of her family’s lives.

Surviving are her children, Linda (Denny) Rogier of Reo; Carol VanConey of Cannelton; Connie (Jeff) Richardson of Gatchel; and Sandra (Patrick) Jarboe of Gerald. She was blessed with eight grandchildren, Stephanie (Lyric) Chapman, Staci (Nick) Litherland, Cassandra Hays, Nicole (Sean) Risse, Shaina (Charles) Weatherholt, Ian (Whitney) Jarboe, Carly (Caleb) Kuric, and Jenna Richardson; and eleven great-grandchildren, Daniel Marshall, Peyton and Alyssa Hays, Zaeden Weaver, Sophia and Gannon Litherland, Junah and Adley Risse, Nakoa Kalaluhi, Catherine Kuric, and Tinsley Jo Weatherholt, on the way.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Gregory Lahee; her brothers, Harold Racine and Clifford (Romella) Racine; and her sister, Helen (Robert) Pruitt.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Tell City, Indiana, with burial to follow in St. John’s Lutheran Church Cemetery in Evanston, Indiana.
