Obit Pogue Irma

Irma Isabell Reidhead Pogue, 65, born March 30, 1961, passed away April 3, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Irma dedicated many years working in retail, including Circle K and most recently Dollar General. She was very fond of her Native American customers and took pride in serving her community. Irma often went above and beyond-quietly helping those in need, even covering the cost for customers who came up short. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she ensured her Holbrook community had access to essential items.

Irma found her greatest joy in her family. She is survived by her beloved husband of 33 years, Ray; children, Kris and Luke Pogue; mother, Alfa Sanchez; siblings, Josie Hernandez, Archie Reidhead, Antonio Reidhead and Graciela Dionne Reidhead; grandchildren, Caitlyn and Ryan Pogue, Anthony and Daniel Tarlip.

She was preceded in death by her father, Marvin Arch Reidhead.

In her younger years, Irma was a talented athlete at Snowflake High School, where she set a school record in the 850 meters. She also played softball and achieved a rare triple play during a tournament.

Irma will be remembered for her compassion, strength, and the love she gave so freely.
