Ima D. Holmes, age 91, resident of Coweta entered her Heavenly Home to be with her Lord and Savior Friday afternoon, May 1, 2020 at her home in Coweta, OK surrounded by her family.  Ima D. was born July 19, 1928 in Arkoma, OK and was the daughter of John Henry and Electa (Bradshaw) Wright.  She attended school until the 8th grade and had to drop out to help support her family by washing and ironing for the service men.  Ima D. met the love of her life, Bill Terry and they were married on June 23, 1946 in Ft. Smith, AR.  In 1948 they left Ft.
